Art to me is an anecdote of the spirit, and the only means of making concrete the purpose of its varied quickness and stillness.

The people that weep before my paintings are having the same religious experience that I had when I painted it.

If our titles recall the known myths of antiquity, we have used them again because they are the eternal symbols upon which we must fall back to express basic psychological ideas.. ...(they) express something real and existing in ourselves.

My art is not abstract, it lives and breathes

There is no such thing as good painting about nothing.

There is more power in telling little than in telling all.

There is only one thing I fear in life, my friend: One day, the black will swallow the red.
