The longer you look at an object, the more abstract it becomes, and, ironically, the more real.
I have a timetable, but no routine.
As far as I am concerned the paint is the person. I want it to work for me just as flesh does
The character of the artist doesn't enter into the nature of the art
Everything is autobiographical and everything is a portrait.
The painter's obsession with his subject is all that he needs to drive him to work.
