Painting is not done to decorate apartments. It is an instrument of war.

When I die, it will be a shipwreck, and as when a huge ship sinks, many people all around will be sucked down with it.

I'm not a developer; I am.

To arrive at abstraction, it is always necessary to begin with a concrete reality.

As far as I am concerned, a painting speaks for itself. What is the use of giving explanations, when all is said and done? A painter has only one language.

It means nothing to me. I have no opinion about it, and I don't care.

When German soldiers used to come to my studio and look at my pictures of Guernica, they'd ask 'Did you do this?'. And I'd say, 'No, you did.'
