I don't believe in art. I believe in artists.

The artist performs only one part of the creative process. The onlooker completes it, and it is the onlooker who has the last word.

I believe that a picture, a work of art, lives and dies just as we do.

Unless a picture shocks, it is nothing.

Chess players are madmen of a certain quality, the way the artist is supposed to be, and isn't, in general.

I was interested in ideas, not merely visual products. I wanted to put painting once again at the service of the mind.

Among our articles of lazy hardware, I recommend the faucet that stops dripping when no one is listening to it.
