We Are Surrounded By Curtains. We Only

A Thing Which Is Present Can Be Invisible, Hidden By What It Shows

Visible Things Can Be Invisible. However, Our Powers Of Thought Grasp Both The Visible And The Invisible – And I Make Use Of Painting To Render Thoughts Visible.

If One Looks At A Thing With The Intention Of Trying To Discover What It Means, One Ends Up No Longer Seeing The Thing Itself, But Of Thinking Of The Question That Is Raised.

I Detest My Past, And Anyone Else's. I Detest Resignation, Patience, Professional Heroism And Obligatory Beautiful Feelings. I Also Detest The Decorative Arts, Folklore, Advertising, Voices Making Announcements, Aerodynamism, Boy Scouts, The Smell Of Moth Balls, Events Of The Moment, And Drunken People.

I Need To See The Original Paintings Just As Little As I Have To Read The Original Manuscripts Of Books.
