I am interested in ideas, not merely in visual products.

I have forced myself to contradict myself in order to avoid conforming to my own taste.

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.

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

Art has the lovely habit of ruining all artistic theories.

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

You cannot define electricity. The same can be said of art. It is a kind of inner current in a human being, or something which needs no definition.
