“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.”

“the artist should paint not only what he sees before him, but also what he sees within him.”
