[The artist's aim is] not to instruct the viewer, but to give him information... . The artist would follow his predetermined premise to its conclusion, avoiding subjectivity. Chance, taste, or unconsciously remembered forms would play no part in the outcome. The serial artist does not attempt to produce a beautiful or mysterious object but functions merely as a clerk cataloguing the results of his premise.

Obviously a drawing of a person is not a real person, but a drawing of a line is a real line.

You shouldn't be a prisoner of your own ideas.

Conceptual art is only good if the idea is good.

Most ideas that are successful are ludicrously simple. Successful ideas generally have the appearance of simplicity because they seem inevitable. In terms of idea the artist is free to even surprise himself. Ideas are discovered by intuition.

Irrational judgements lead to new experience.

Artists are mystics rather than rationalists. They leap to conclusions that logic cannot reach.
