My Works Were Designed To

The Streets Are Full Of Admirable Craftsmen, But So Few Practical Dreamers.

I Like Contradictions. We Have Never Attained The Infinite Variety And Contradictions That Exist In Nature. Tomorrow I Shall Contradict Myself. That Is The One Way I Have Of Asserting My Liberty, The Real Liberty One Does Not Find As A Member Of Society.

To Me, A Painter, If Not The Most Useful, Is The Least Harmful Member Of Our Society.

Of Course, There Will Always Be Those Who Look Only At Technique, Who Ask 'how', While Others Of A More Curious Nature Will Ask 'why'. Personally, I Have Always Preferred Inspiration To Information.

All My Life I Have Painted Pictures So That Certain People Would Drop Dead When They Looked At Them, But I Have Not Succeeded Yet. The Worst Painting Cant Hurt You, But A Bad Driver Can Kill You, A Bad Judge Can Send You To The Chair, A Bad Politician Can Ruin An Entire Country, That Is Why Even A Bad Painting Is Sacred.
