Art makes something a lot more visible or audible.
The painter should not paint what he sees, but what will be seen.
A single day is enough to make us a little larger or, another time, a little smaller.
I paint in order not to cry.
Nothing can be rushed. It must grow, it should grow of itself, and if the time ever comes for that work, then so much the better!
The more horrible this world (as today, for instance), the more abstract our art, whereas a happy world brings forth an art of the here and now.
