My work has to do with a defense against fervor. People are always in a rush. To do what? To do nothing! There is a kind of fervor that is completely meaningless. This drawing is a call for meditation... I am an insomniac, so for me the state of being asleep is paradise. It is a paradise I can never reach. But I still try to conquer the insomnia, and to a large extent I have done it; it is conquerable. My drawings are a kind of rocking or stroking and an attempt at finding peace. Peaceful rhythm. Like rocking a baby to sleep Picture Quote #1

In spite of everything I shall rise again: I will take up my pencil, which I have forsaken in my great discouragement, and I will go on with my drawing Picture Quote #1

My drawings inspire, and are not to be defined. They place us, as does music, in the ambiguous realm of the undetermined Picture Quote #1

A critic in my house sees some paintings. Greatly perturbed, he asks for my drawings. My drawings? Never! They are my letters, my secrets Picture Quote #1

I like my drawings to be direct. I don’t generally work on them for too long, but that doesn’t mean that they are not works in their own right Picture Quote #1

I have made it a rule for a long time, not to part with the copyright of my drawings, for I have been so copied, my drawings reproduced and sold for advertisements and done in ways I hate Picture Quote #1

Then one day I thought it would be wonderful to make a whole book, to make my text and my drawings together, and that’s how I started doing children’s books Picture Quote #1

My drawings at first were made altogether in watercolors, but they wanted softness and a great deal of finish Picture Quote #1

My drawings have been described as pre-intentionalist, meaning that they were finished before the ideas for them had occurred to me. I shall not argue the point Picture Quote #1

My drawings and paintings were done as an act of protest; I was trying by means of my work to convince the world that it is ugly, sick and hypocritical Picture Quote #1

My drawing began as a way to count my blessings. To study, capture, catalog the things that, despite it all, make my life rich Picture Quote #1

When I make my drawings... the path traced by my pencil on the sheet of paper is, to some extent, analogous to the gesture of a man groping his way in the darkness Picture Quote #1
