You have to have an idea of what you are going to do, but it should be a vague idea.

There's nothing worse than a brilliant beginning.

Those trying to explain pictures are as a rule completely mistaken.

If everybody is looking for it, then nobody is finding it. If we were cultured, we would not be conscious of lacking culture. We would regard it as something natural and would not make so much fuss about it. And if we knew the real value of this word we would be cultured enough not to give it so much importance.

Neither is there figurative and non-figurative art. All things appear to us in the shape of forms. Even in metaphysics ideas are expressed by forms. Well then, think how absurd it would be to think of painting without the imagery of forms. A figure, an object, a circle, are forms; they affect us more or less intensely.

In every photographer there was a painter, a true artist, awaiting expression.

Everything you can imagine is real.
