If I Weren't A Jew

When I Am Finishing A Picture, I Hold Some God-made Object Up To It

Art Must Be An Expression Of Love Or It Is Nothing.

What I Mean By 'abstract' Is Something Which Comes To Life Spontaneously Through A Gamut Of Contrasts, Plastic At The Same Time As Psychic, And Pervades Both The Picture And The Eye Of The Spectator With Conceptions Of New And Unfamiliar Elements.

The Stars Were My Best Friends. The Air Was Full Of Legends And Phantoms, Full Of Mythical And Fair-tale Creatures, Which Suddenly Flew Away Over The Roof, So That One Was At One With The Firmament.

In My Youth, Poverty Enriched Me, But Now I Can Afford Wealth.
