Anything Is Art If An Artist Says

I Was Interested In Ideas, Not Merely Visual Products. I Wanted To Put Painting Once Again At The Service Of The Mind.

All Decisions In The Artistic Execution Of The Work Rest With Pure Intuition And Cannot Be Translated Into A Self-analysis.

In My Day Artists Wanted To Be Outcasts, Pariahs. Now They Are All Integrated Into Society

My Idea Was To Chose An Object That Wouldn't Attract Me, Either By Its Beauty Or By Its Ugliness. To Find A Point Of Indifference In My Looking At It, You See

I Thought To Discourage Aesthetics... I Threw The Bottlerack And The Urinal In Their Faces And Now They Admire Them For Their Aesthetic Beauty.
