An abstract painting need in 50 years by no means look "abstract" any longer.

No, the thing to do is try to make a painting that will be alive in your own lifetime.

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

I like living, breathing better than working...my art is that of living. Each second, each breath is a work which is inscribed nowhere, which is neither visual nor cerebral, it's a sort of constant euphoria.

I've decided that art is a habit-forming drug. That's all it is, for the artist, for the collector, for anybody connected with it.

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

What I have in mind is that art may be bad, good or indifferent, but, whatever adjective is used, we must call it art, and bad art is still art in the same way that a bad emotion is still an emotion.
