Abstract art is only painting. And what's so dramatic about that? There is no abstract art. One must always begin with something. Afterwards one can remove all semblance of reality; there is no longer any danger as the idea of the object has left an indelible imprint.

Why do two colors, put one next to the other, sing?

Every now and then one paints a picture that seems to have opened a door and serves as a stepping stone to other things.

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.

I do not seek. I find.

We don't grow older, we grow riper.

Painting is a blind man's profession. He paints not what he sees, but what he feels, what he tells himself about what he has seen.
