Perspective is a ghastly mistake which it has taken four centuries to redress.

Truth exists; only lies are invented.

Thanks to the oval I have discovered the meaning of the horizontal and the vertical.

There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.

Art is a wound turned into light.

The painter thinks in terms of form and color. The goal is not to be concerned with the reconstitution of an anecdotal fact, but with constitution of a pictorial fact.

The painting is finished when the idea has disappeared.

Art is polymorphic. A picture appears to each onlooker under a different guise.

Faith in God is to be demonstrated, not defined.

If someone is going to criticize what you've written and you believe in what you've written then you should respond.

I take the good with the bad. I can't love people in slices.

It's our machines and our technologies that are now the major evolutionary forces acting upon us. It's not our political systems.
