People want to find a 'meaning' in everything and everyone. That's the disease of our age...

In the end there is only Matisse.

It is a well-known fact that we see the faults in other's works more readily than we do in our own.

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

Cubism is not a reality you can take in your hand. It's more like a perfume, in front of you, behind you, to the sides, the scent is everywhere but you don’t quite know where it comes from.

If you give a meaning to certain things in my paintings it may be very true, but it is not my idea to give this meaning. What ideas and conclusions you have got I obtained too, but instinctively, unconsciously. I make the painting for the painting. I paint the objects for what they are.

The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.
