Painting isn't just pretty or pleasant; it is something that helps you to stand alone and face yourself.
Pierre SoulagesPainting allows us to live in a more interesting way than we live our everyday lives.
Pierre SoulagesIt's fascinating to think that as soon as man came into existence, he started painting.
Pierre SoulagesI always loved to paint. As a kid, I liked to dip my paintbrush in black ink. They gave colors to me to use, but I didn't like them very much.
Pierre SoulagesA window looks outside, but a painting should do the opposite - it should look inside of us. When I put them in the middle of the room, I attach the paintings at the top to the ceiling and on the bottom to the floor. I prefer this to just hanging them from the ceiling because it creates a place in a space, like a wall.
