For Me Painting Is A

What I Capture In Spite Of Myself Interests Me More Than My Own Ideas.

To Make Oneself Hated Is More Difficult Than To Make Oneself Loved.

Learn The Rules Like A Pro, So You Can Break Them Like An Artist.

Formerly Pictures Used To Move Towards Completion In Progressive Stages. Each Day Would Bring Something New. A Picture Was A Sum Of Additions. With Me, Picture Is A Sum Of Destructions. I Do A Picture, Then I Destroy It. But In The Long Run Nothing Is Lost; The Red That I Took Away From One Place Turns Up Somewhere Else.

We Artists Are Indestructible; Even In A Prison, Or In A Concentration Camp, I Would Be Almighty In My Own World Of Art, Even If I Had To Paint My Pictures With My Wet Tongue On The Dusty Floor Of My Cell.
