If The Abstract Paintings Show

Turning To The Colour-classification Methodology: The Starting Point Are The Four Pure Colours Red, Yellow, Green And Blue; Their In-between Shades And Scales Of Brightness Result In Colour Schemes Containing 16, 64, 256 And 1,024 Shades. More Colours Would Be Pointless Because It Wouldn't Be Possible To Distinguish Between Them Clearly.

The Photograph Is The Most Perfect Picture. It Does Not Change; It Is Absolute, And Therefore Autonomous, Unconditional, Devoid Of Style. Both In Its Way Of Informing, And In What It Informs Of, It Is My Source.

It Is A Danger To Wait Around For An Idea To Occur To You. You Have To Find The Idea.

I Wanted To Say Something Different: The Pictures Are Also A Leave-taking, In Several Respects. Factually: These Specific Persons Are Dead; As A General Statement, Death Is Leave-taking. And Then Ideologically: A Leave-taking From A Specific Doctrine Of Salvation And, Beyond That, From The Illusion That Unacceptable Circumstances Of Life Can Be Changed By This Conventional Expedient Of Violent Struggle.

If I Don't Know What's Coming - That Is, If I Have No Hard-and-fast Image, As I Have With A Photographic Original - Then Arbitrary Choice And Chance Play An Important Part.
