When spiritual, metaphysical, material, or immaterial events come into my life, I can only fix them by way of painting.

In principle, any abstraction of the object is allowed which has a sufficiently strong creative power behind it.

I hardly need to abstract things, for each object is unreal enough already, so unreal that I can only make it real by means of painting.

I passed blindly many things which belong to real and political life.

Height, width, and depth are the three phenomena which I must transfer into one plane to form the abstract surface of the picture, and thus to protect myself from the infinity of space.

Art is creative for the sake of realization, not for amusement... for transfiguration, not for the sake of play.

There is nothing I hate more than sentimentality.
