The struggle begins, to harmonize canvas, eye, hand, forms. New apparitions stalk the earth. - Karel Appel

..people always talk about painting, because basically painting does not talk.

The only control that I excercize [in painting] is to not throw too much paint next to the canvas.

The duty of the artist is not to be calculating in any sense, so that he may be free himself of human emotions while carried by the universal forces of life. Only then does one not think about making art, or about styles, or directions. Something comes about, something happens.
