When I was young, I was interested in Renaissance art.
From Sigmar Polke
A negative is never finished.
I began drawing as a very young child and had a grandfather who experimented with photography, so those things constituted my first exposure to art.
Yes, my works... are enshrined in museums, but I don't care if the pieces fall apart in 20 years.
Because I was traveling a lot during the '70s, the only thing I could do on the road was take photographs, so there wasn't much painting during those years.
I've never been interested in philosophy, but some of Jung's ideas seem useful in helping people understand pictures and so forth.
When I came to the West, I saw many, many things for the first time. But I also saw the prosperity of the West critically. It wasn't really Heaven.
