The value of art lies in its power to increase our moral force or establish its heightening influence.

While I recognize the necessity for a basis of observed reality... true art lies in a reality that is felt.

I have placed there a little door opening on to the mysterious. I have made stories.

I await joyous surprises while working, an awakening of the materials that I work with and that my spirit develops.

My drawings inspire, and are not to be defined. They place us, as does music, in the ambiguous realm of the undetermined.

One must respect black. Nothing prostitutes it.
