 * A good painting never stops giving of itself.


 * Art upsets; science reassures.


 * Form and colour do not merge, there is simultaneity.


 * I believe my picture is only finished when the original idea is completely extinguished.


 * I have found painting to be a means of hanging up my ideas. This enables me to change them and avoid any fixed idea.


 * If a painting doesn't disquiet, what is it?

I had thought the original quote of this was more like: "-when the idea is obliterated (transferred) from the mind to the painting." Although I cannot now provide that source!
 * The painting is complete when the idea is obliterated.
