One Must Act In Painting As In

This Idea Of Art For Art's Sake Is A Hoax.

An Idea Is A Point Of Departure And No More. As Soon As You Elaborate It, It Becomes Transformed By Thought.

When I Enter The Studio, I Leave My Body At The Door The Way The Moslems Leave Their Shoes When They Enter The Mosque, And I Only Allow My Spirit To Go In There And Paint.

Only When Painting Isn't Painting Can There Be An Affront To Modesty.

If I Paint A Wild Horse, You Might Not See The Horse... But Surely You Will See The Wildness!
