Painting picture by picture, I followed the impressions my eye took in at heightened moments. I painted only memories, adding nothing, no details that I did not see. Hence the simplicity of the paintings, their emptiness.
It was always my intention that The Frieze should be housed in a room which would provide a suitable architectural frame for it.
Without anxiety and illness I should have been like a ship without a rudder.
From my rotting body, flowers shall grow and I am in them and that is eternity.
The rich man who gives, steals twice over. First he steals the money and then the hearts of men.
Death is pitch-dark, but colors are light. To be a painter, one must work with rays of light.
