In Art There Is Only

Once An Object Has Been Incorporated In A Picture It Accepts A New Destiny.

The Painting Is Finished When The Idea Has Disappeared.

To Explain Away The Mystery Of A Great Painting - If Such A Feat Were Possible - Would Do Irreparable Harm... If There Is No Mystery, Then There Is No Poetry, The Quality I Value Above All Else In Art.

Critics Should Help People See For Themselves; They Should Never Try To Define Things, Or Impose Their Own Explanations, Though I Admit That If... A Critic's Explanations Serve To Increase The General Obscurity, That's All To The Good.

Art Is Made To Trouble But Science Reassures.
