The More Abstract Is Form,

Absolute Green Is The Most Restful Color, Lacking Any Undertone Of Joy, Grief, Or Passion. On Exhausted Men This Restfulness Has A Beneficial Effect, But After A Time It Becomes Tedious.

The Organic Laws Of Construction Tangled Me In My Desires, And Only With Great Pain, Effort, And Struggle Did I Break Through These 'walls Around Art.

I Really Believe That I Am The First And Only Artist To Throw Not Just The 'subject' Out Of My Paintings, But Every 'object' As Well.

Those [things] That We Encounter For The First Time Immediately Have A Spiritual Effect Upon Us. A Child, For Whom Every Object Is New, Experiences The World In This Way: It Sees Light, Is Attracted By It, Wants To Grasp It, Burns Its Finger In The Process, And Thus Learns Fear And Respect For The Flame.

Black Is Like The Silence Of The Body After Death, The Close Of Life.
