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

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

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

I believe that the artist doesn't know what he does. I attach even more importance to the spectator than to the artist.

I don’t care about the word ‘art’ because it has been so discredited. So I want to get rid of it. There is an unnecessary adoration of ‘art’ today.

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.

Artmaking is making the invisible, visible.
