You know exactly what I think of photography. I would like to see it make people despise painting until something else will make photography unbearable. (In a letter to Alfred Stieglitz)

All this twaddle, the existence of God, atheism, determinism, liberation, societies, death, etc., are pieces of a chess game called language, and they are amusing only if one does not preoccupy oneself with 'winning or losing this game of chess.

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.

All decisions in the artistic execution of the work rest with pure intuition and cannot be translated into a self-analysis.

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

If a shadow is a two-dimensional projection of the three-dimensional world, then the three-dimensional world as we know it is the projection of the four-dimensional Universe.

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