...i Am Driven On By

I Have To Create An Object Which Resembles The Tree. The Sign For A Tree, And Not The Sign That Other Artists May Have Found For The Tree.

I Want To Reach That Condensation Of Sensations That Constitutes A Picture.

I Do Not Literally Paint That Table, But The Emotion It Produces Upon Me.

I Was Very Embarrassed When My Canvases Began To Fetch High Prices. I Saw Myself Condemned To A Future Of Nothing But Masterpieces.

Cutting Straight Into Color Reminds Me Of The Direct Carving Of The Sculptor.
