I Have Never Painted A Recent Picture.

To Create Is Divine, To Reproduce Is Human.

I Paint When I Cannot Photograph.

Cut Out The Eye From A Photograph Of One Who Has Been Loved But Is Seen No More. Attach The Eye To The Pendulum Of A Metronome And Regulate The Weight To Suit The Tempo Desired. Keep Going To The Limit Of Endurance. With A Hammer Well-aimed, Try To Destroy The Whole At A Single Blow.

Personally, I Have Always Preferred Inspiration To Information.

A Certain Amount Of Contempt For The Material Employed To Express An Idea Is Indispensable To The Purest Realization Of This Idea.
