When The Individuality Of The Artist Begins

I Have Always Believed And Still Believe That Artists Who Live And Work With Spiritual Values Cannot And Should Not Remain Indifferent To The Conflict In Which The Highest Values Of Humanity And Civilization Are At Stake.

Those Trying To Explain Pictures Are As A Rule Completely Mistaken.

To Blossom Forth, A Work Of Art Must Ignore Or Rather Forget All The Rules.

I'm Always Doing Things I Can't Do. That's How I Get To Do Them.

Whatever The Source Of Emotion That Drives Me To Create, I Want To Give It A Form Which Has Some Connection With The Visible World, Even If It Is Only To Wage War On That World....i Want My Paintings To Be Able To Defend Themselves To Resist The Invader, Just As Though There Were Razor Blades On All Surfaces So No One Could Touch Them Without Cutting His Hands.
