The Fact I Myself Do Not Understand What My Paintings Mean While I Am Painting Them Does Not Imply That They Are Meaningless.

Let The Labyrinth Of Wrinkles Be Furrowed In My Brow With The Red-hot Iron Of My Own Life, Let My Hair Whiten And My Step Become Vacillating, On Condition That I Can Save The Intelligence Of My Soul - Let My Unformed Childhood Soul, As It Ages, Assume The Rational And Esthetic Forms Of An Architecture, Let Me Learn Just Everything That Others Cannot Teach Me, What Only Life Would Be Capable Of Marking Deeply In My Skin!

I Shall Be So Brief That I Have Already Finished.

I Want To Perceive And Understand The Hidden Powers And Laws Of Things, In Order To Have Them In My Power.
