Work isn't to make money; you work to justify life.
When I am finishing a picture, I hold some God-made object up to it - a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand - as a final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there's a clash between the two, it's bad art.
Color is vibration like music; everything is vibration.
If I weren't a Jew then I wouldn't be an artist, or at least not the one I am now.
Can my words distill for you a little sweetness, tender and caressing?
You cannot explain me with "isms." They are very bad for an artist. What one must believe in is color.
