Quote

I paint what cannot be photographed, that which comes from the imagination or from dreams, or from an unconscious drive.

There does not exist a painter who knows himself or knows what he is doing.

No one can be a painter unless he cares for painting above all else.

I'm not so facile that I can accomplish or find out what I want to know or explore enough of the possibilities and a way of making a painting, say, in just one painting or two paintings.

You can only paint through your experience and sub-consciousness.

I tried to be a house painter, but I couldn't stand all that paint all over me.

Painting is self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is.

You can't make a perfect painting. We can see perfection in our minds. But we can't make a perfect painting.

Painting is not for me either decorative amusement, or the plastic invention of felt reality; it must be every time: invention, discovery, revelation.
