For me, Christ has always symbolized the true type of the Jewish martyr.

For me a stained glass window is a transparent partition between my heart and the heart of the world.

I adore the theater and I am a painter. I think the two are made for a marriage of love. I will give all my soul to prove this once more.

Art must be an expression of love or it is nothing.

Everything in art must spring from the movement of our whole life-stream, of our whole being - including the unconscious.

The fingers must be educated, the thumb is born knowing.

I am a little Jew of Vitebsk. All that I paint, all that I do, all that I am, is just the little Jew of Vitebsk.
