I've tried doing so, for it was never my intention to paint only with gray. But in the course of my work I have eliminated one color after another, and what has remained is gray, gray, gray!

If only someone else could paint what I see, it would be marvellous, because then I wouldn't have to paint at all.

In every work of art the subject is primordial, whether the artist knows it or not. The measure of the formal qualities is only a sign of the measure of the artist's obsession with his subject; the form is always in proportion to the obsession.

I don't know if I work in order to do something, or in order to know why I can't do what I want to do.

Only reality interests me now and I know I could spend the rest of my life in copying a chair.

Artistically I am still a child with a whole life ahead of me to discover and create. I want something, but I won't know what it is until I succeed in doing it.
