I paint with shapes.

I think of my peace paintings as one long poem with each painting being a single stanza.

It is a mistake for a sculptor or a painter to speak or write very often about his job. It releases tension needed for his work.

A painting that is well composed is half finished.

Painting is by nature a luminous language.

Modern art is what happens when painters stop looking at girls and persuade themselves that they have a better idea.

Time extracts various values from a painter's work. When these values are exhausted the pictures are forgotten and the more a picture has to give the greater it is.

My painting does not come from the easel.

I don't paint things. I only paint the difference between things.

Every good painter paints what he is.
