I Make No Distinction Between Poetry And

The More I Work, The More I Want To Work.

The More Ignoble I Find Life, The More Strongly I React By Contradiction, In Humour And In An Outburst Of Liberty And Expansion.

For Me An Object Is Something Living. This Cigarette Or This Box Of Matches Contains A Secret Life Much More Intense Than That Of Certain Human Beings.

Painting Must Be Fertile. It Must Give Birth To A World.. ..it Must Fertilize The Imagination.

I Start From Something Considered Dead And Arrive At A World. And When I Put A Title On It, It Becomes Even More Alive.
