'I don't think that I am expressionist, if this means being a
painter who attempts to find conformations, sometimes in cold
blood, which will give an effect of passion; it seems to me that
I am attempting by feeling, to find living conformations which
will surprise me by their independence and will for me define
sensations of reality.

their directness, complexity and unpredictability goes without
saying.' (From a letter-1967)
