“Art is what you can get away with.”

“I don’t listen to what art critics say. I don’t know anybody who needs a critic to find out what art is.”

“There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality.”

“Abstraction allows man to see with his mind what he cannot physically see with his eyes… Abstract art enables the artist to perceive beyond the tangible, to extract the infinite out of the finite. It is the emancipation of the mind. It is an explosion into unknown areas.”

“The longer you look at an object, the more abstract it becomes, and, ironically, the more real.”
