Paradise Is To Love Many Things With

A Painter Paints To Unload Himself Of Feelings And Visions.

It Isn't Up To The Painter To Define The Symbols. Otherwise It Would Be Better If He Wrote Them Out In So Many Words! The Public Who Look At The Picture Must Interpret The Symbols As They Understand Them.

When You Start With A Portrait And Try To Find Pure Form By Abstracting More And More, You Must End Up With An Egg.

Painting Isn't A Question Of Sensibility; It's A Matter Of Seizing The Power, Taking Over From Nature, Not Expecting Her To Supply You With Information And Good Advice.

What Do You Think An Artist Is? ...he Is A Political Being, Constantly Aware Of The Heart Breaking, Passionate, Or Delightful Things That Happen In The World, Shaping Himself Completely In Their Image. Painting Is Not Done To Decorate Apartments. It Is An Instrument Of War.
