How can we live and die and never know the difference?
I have my pace and way of living, and I'm not looking for something.
Of course one should not drink much, but often.
I was for years in the yellow period, you know.
I am not a black artist, I am an artist.
I wanted to be a cartoonist when I was young.
I'm mostly drawn to narratives that are difficult for me to visualize.
Perfectly ordered disorder designed with a helter-skelter magnificence.
A taste for simplicity cannot endure for long.
Nature creates unity even in the parts of a whole.
What I wanted to do was to paint sunlight on the side of a house.
Well, I have a very simple method of painting.
I have a sort of inner sense for scale.
We are pushing hard to find quality advertising clients.
If I paint something, I don't want to have to explain what it is.
I stay hidden. I'm sort of hard to find.
Whatever I get involved in, I'm totally involved, you see.
Remember, light and shadow never stand still.
Do not mistake a crowd of big wage-earners for the leisure class.
To be reserved, secretive, with a passionate violence that causes suffering.
It is not the form that dictates the color, but the color that brings out the form.
