Every act of creation is first an act of destruction.

We have a lot of reasons but only one real one.

I try to paint what I have found and not what I look for. In art, intentions are of little importance.

What do you think an artist is? ...he is a political being, constantly aware of the heart breaking, passionate, or delightful things that happen in the world, shaping himself completely in their image. Painting is not done to decorate apartments. It is an instrument of war.

Basically the French are all peasants.

People want Art. And they are given it. But the less Art there is in painting the more painting there is.

If only we could pull out our brain and use only our eyes.
