The essence of painting has actually always been to make it [the universal] plastically perceptible through colour and line.

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

In art the search for a content which is collectively understandable is false; the content will always be individual.

All painting - the painting of the past as well as of the present - shows us that its essential plastic means were only line and color.

The relation of color and the relation of proportion are both based on the relation of position.

Everything is expressed through RELATIONSHIPS.

The more basic the color, the more inward, the more pure.
