To be a surrealist means barring from your mind all remembrance of what you have seen, and being always on the lookout for what has never been.
My painting is visible images that conceal nothing... they evoke mystery. Mystery means nothing. It is unknowable.
The purpose of art is mystery.
Each thing we see hides something else we want to see.
The present reeks of mediocrity and the atom bomb.
My investigations resembled the pursuit of the solution to a problem for which I had three data: the object, the thing connected with it in the shadow of my consciousness, and the light wherein that thing would become apparent.
