I prefer images that are less specific, so there is room for everyone's imagination.

I like photographs of anything uninteresting. Maybe just two doors on a wall... The point is to be uninteresting.

And I think a painting has such a limited life anyway

Art is a means to function thoroughly and passionately in a world that has a lot more to it than paint.

There was a whole language that I could never make function for myself; it revolved around words like 'tortured', 'struggle'. 'pain'.. .I could never see these qualities in paint - I could see them in life and art that illustrates life. But I could not see such conflicts in the materials and I knew that it had to be in the attitude of the painter.

There is no reason not to consider the world as one gigantic painting.

This telegram is a work of art if I say it is.
