Reality Only Reveals Itself When It Is

Critics Should Help People See For Themselves; They Should Never Try To Define Things, Or Impose Their Own Explanations, Though I Admit That If... A Critic's Explanations Serve To Increase The General Obscurity, That's All To The Good.

I Have Made A Great Discovery. I No Longer Believe In Anything. Objects Don't Exist For Me Except In So Far As A Rapport Exists Between Them And Myself. When One Attains This Harmony, One Reaches A Sort Of Intellectual Non-existence, What I Can Only Describe As A Sense Of Peace, Which Makes Everything Possible And Right. Life Then Becomes A Perpetual Revelation. That Is True Poetry.

I Do Not Think My Painting Has Ever Been Revolutionary. It Was Not Directed Against Any Kind Of Painting. I Have Never Wanted To Prove That I Was Right And Someone Else Wrong.

The Painting Is Finished When The Idea Has Disappeared.

Whatever Is Valuable In Painting Is Precisely What One Is Incapable Of Talking About.
