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

What is natural does not have to be a representation of something. I'm now working on a thing that is a reconstruction of a starry sky, and yet I'm making it without a given from nature. Someone who says he uses a theme from nature can be right, but also someone who says he uses nothing at all.

By the unification of architecture, sculpture and painting a new plastic reality will be created.

abstract art is not the creation of another reality but the true vision of reality.

Intellect confuses intuition.

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.

If you follow nature you will not be able to vanquish the tragic in any real degree in your art... We must free ourselves from our attachment to the external, for only then do we transcend the tragic, and are enabled consciously to contemplate the repose which is within all things.
