To Be Free, To Be

Art When Really Understood Is The Province Of Every Human Being. It Is Simply A Question Of Doing Things, Anything, Well. It Is Not An Outside, Extra Thing.

Do Not Let The Fact That Things Are Not Made For You, That Conditions Are Not As They Should Be Stop You. Go On Anyway. Everything Depends On Those Who Go On Anyway.

Art After All Is But An Extension Of Language To The Expression Of Sensations Too Subtle For Words.

Realize That A Drawing Is Not A Copy. It Is A Construction In Very Different Materials. A Drawing Is An Invention.

Perhaps Whatever There Is In My Work That May Be Really Interesting To Others And Surely What Is Interesting To Me, Is The Result Of A Sometimes Successful Effort To Free Myself From Any Idea That What I Produce Must Be Art.
