I'd Like To Live Like A Poor

If I Had Known There Was Such A Thing As Islamic Calligraphy, I Would Never Have Started To Paint. I Have Strived To Reach The Highest Levels Of Artistic Mastery, But I Found That Islamic Calligraphy Was There Ages Before I Was.

When Art Critics Get Together They Talk About Form And Structure And Meaning. When Artists Get Together They Talk About Where You Can Buy Cheap Turpentine.

Only Put Off Until Tomorrow What You Are Willing To Die Having Left Undone.

It Isn't Up To The Painter To Define The Symbols. Otherwise It Would Be Better If He Wrote Them Out In So Many Words! The Public Who Look At The Picture Must Interpret The Symbols As They Understand Them.

What I Want Is That My Picture Should Evoke Nothing But Emotion.
