Quotes by "Claes Oldenburg"

My single-minded aim is to give existence to fantasy.

My struggle has been to return painting to the tangible object, which is like returning the personality to touching and feeling the world around it, to offset the tendency to vagueness and abstraction. To remind people of practical activity, to suggest the sense and not to escape from the senses.
— Claes Oldenburg
