I am an economic person; I judge the amount of work involved with the amount of worth attained.
Just as I work with paints, brushes, and canvas, I work with the light, pieces of glass and chemistry.
l photograph what l do not wish to paint and l paint that which l cannot photograph.
To me, a painter, if not the most useful, is the least harmful member of our society.
One of the satisfactions of a genius is his will-power and obstinacy.
Cut out the eye from a photograph of one who has been loved but is seen no more. Attach the eye to the pendulum of a metronome and regulate the weight to suit the tempo desired. Keep going to the limit of endurance. With a hammer well-aimed, try to destroy the whole at a single blow.
