Traditionally art is to create and not to revive. To revive: leave that to the historians, who are looking backward.

I was at the Royal Art School. That was a preparatory school specially for art teachers. You see, it was not so much for the development of artists. But we had there terribly stiff training.

Ah, the creative process is the same secret in science as it is in art. They are all the same absolutely.

In visual perception a color is almost never seen as it really is - as it physically is. This fact makes color the most relative medium in art.

It is not so for art in appreciation because art is concerned with human behavior. And science is concerned with the behavior of metal or energy. It depends on what the fashion is. Now today it's energy. It's the same soul behind it. The same soul, you see.

And I started with this: I have not painted at all my childhood. In fact, I never painted. But I helped my father who was a house painter and decorative painter. He made stage sets, he made glass paintings, he made everything.
