“Museums are managers of consciousness. They give us an
interpretation of history, of how to view the world and locate ourselves
in it. They are, if you want to put it in positive terms, great
educational institutions. If you want to put it in negative terms, they
are propaganda machines.”

“To talk about paintings is not only difficult but perhaps pointless,
too. You can only express in words what words are capable of expressing,
what language can communicate. Painting has nothing to do with that…Painting is another form of thinking.”

“My colour has no symbolic function whatever. I don’t want any colour to
be noticeable. I want the colour to be the colour of life, so that you
would notice it as being irregular if it changed. I don’t want it to
operate in the modernist sense as colour, something independent. I don’t
want people to say, “Oh, what was that red or that blue picture of
yours, I’ve forgotten what it was.”

“I want to shape the TV screen canvas as precisely as Leonardo, as freely as Picasso, as colorfully as Renoir, as profoundly as Mondrian, as violently as Pollock and as lyrically as Jasper Johns.”

“Work at the same time upon water, sky, branches, ground, keeping
everything going on an equal basis and unceasingly rework until you have
got it. Paint generously and unhesitatingly, for it is best not to lose
the first impression.”
