Art Is A Wound Turned

The Painting Is Finished When The Idea Has Disappeared.

In Art, Progress Lies Not In An Extension, But In A Knowledge Of Limitations.

La Ve Rite Existe; On N'invente Que Le Mensonge. Truth Exists; Only Lies Are Invented.

Scientific Perspective Forces The Objects In A Picture To Disappear Away From The Beholder Instead Of Bringing Them Within His Reach As Painting Should.

Take The Birds Which You'll Have Noticed In So Many Of My Recent Paintings. I Never Thought Them Up, They Just Materialized Of Their Own Accord; They Were Born On The Canvas... It Is Absurd To Read Any Sort Of Symbolic Significance Into Them.
