The revolutionary artist does not only focus on the negative aspects of capitalist lives, but also creates visions of a revolutionary future.

...why did Plato say that poets should be chased out of the republic? Precisely because every poet and every artist is an antisocial being. He's not that way because he wants to be; he can't be any other way.... and if he really is an artist it is in his nature not to want to be admitted, because if he is admitted it can only mean he is doing something which is understood, approved, and therefore old hat - worthless. Anything new, anything worth doing, can't be recognized.

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

I've reached the moment where the movement of my thought interests me more than the thought itself.

I paint the way someone bites his fingernails; for me, painting is a bad habit because I don't know nor can I do anything else.

I'd like to live like a poor man with a lot of money.

In drawing, nothing is better than the first attempt.
