The Role Of Art For Me Is

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.

Thus Art Is Not An Object, It Is An Experience.

The Purpose Of Art Is To Re-present Nature, Not Represent It.

Traditionally Art Is To Create And Not To Revive. To Revive: Leave That To The Historians, Who Are Looking Backward.

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.
