The only problem in art is to achieve a balance between the subjective and the objective.

The surface of things gives enjoyment, their interiority gives life.

The emotion of beauty is always obscured by the appearance of the object. Therefore, the object must be eliminated from the picture.

It is a task of art to express clear vision of reality.

The unconscious in us warns us that in art we have to followoneparticular path. And if wefollow it, it isnotthe sign of anunconscious act.On the contrary, it showsthat there is in our ordinary consciousness a greater awareness of our unconsciousness.

Why should art continue to follow nature when every other field has left nature behind?

Every true artist has been inspired more by the beauty of lines and color and the relationships between them than by the concrete subject of the picture.
