To me art is a form of manifest revolt, total and complete.

Art is the distortion of an unendurable reality... Art is correction, modification of a situation; art is communication, connection... Art is social, self-sufficient, and total.

One has complexes. One has the art complex. One goes to the School of Fine Arts and catches the complexes.

Art is not a pastime but a priesthood

The object of art is to give life a shape

An artist cannot speak about his art any more than a plant can discuss horticulture.
