The holy grail is to spend less time making
the picture than it takes people to look at
it. |
|
|
|
+ It took me 40 years to find out that painting
is not sculpture. |

I am out to introduce a psychic shock into
my painting, one that is always motivated
by pictorial reasoning: that is to say, a

|
+ At the age of six I wanted to be a cook.
At seven I wanted to be Napoleon. And my ambition
has been growing steadily ever since. |

One can have no smaller or greater mastery
than mastery of oneself.
+ Poor is the pupil who does not surpass
his master. |

+ Cezanne, you see, is a sort of God of painting. |

I'm painting. |
