A painted surface is a real, living form.
Kazimir MalevichBeing a painter, I ought to say why in pictures people's faces are painted green and red.
Kazimir MalevichWhen I write, I disturb. When I show a film, I disturb. When I exhibit my painting, I disturb, and I disturb if I don't. I have a knack for disturbing.

I haven't the slightest idea what art is, but to be a painter is something of which you have to prove.
Wayne ThiebaudThe Dutch customs once thought my pictures were photos. Where on earth did they think I could have photographed my subjects? In Hell, perhaps?
H.R. Giger'Paint only what you see,' his hero Millet had admonished.
'Imagination is a burden to a painter,' Auguste Renoir had told him. 'Painters are craftsmen, not storytellers. Paint what you see.'
Ah, but what they hadn't said, hadn't warned him about, was how much you could see.
This is a familiar syndrome. There is a stage with every drawing or painting when it looks banal and clumsy. It's worth pushing through that, working through the cliché to find out what made it a cliché in the first place.

Glezniecība ir tik sasodīti grūta lieta, ka pietiek ko nomocīties jau ar krāsām, eļļu un terpentīnu un tāpēc modeļi sen patriekti no darbnīcām, lai nemaisās pa kājām! Modeļi nenozīmē neko citu kā vien kafijas plencēšanu, nebeidzamu muldēšanu un vazāšanos apkārt pa krogiem. Kad dienas darbs ir beidzies, tad krāsotājs ir tik nobeidzies, ka labi ja var ierāpties gultā. Un rītā ir atkal darba diena, kas prasa visus spēkus un briesmīgu uzmanību!

I hear the question upon your lips: What is it to be a colour?
Colour is the touch of the eye, music to the deaf, a word out of the darkness. Because I’ve listened to souls whispering – like the susurrus of the wind – from book to book and object to object for tens or thousands of years, allow me to say that my touch resembles the touch of angels. Part of me, the serious half, calls out to your vision while the mirthful half sours through the air with your glances.
I’m so fortunate to be red! I’m fiery. I’m strong. I know men take notice of me and that I cannot be resisted.
I do not conceal myself: For me, delicacy manifests itself neither in weakness nor in subtlety, but through determination and will. So, I draw attention to myself. I’m not afraid of other colours, shadows, crowds or even of loneliness. How wonderful it is to cover a surface that awaits me with my own victorious being! Wherever I’m spread, I see eyes shine, passions increase, eyebrows rise and heartbeats quicken. Behold how wonderful it is to live! Behold how wonderful to see. I am everywhere. Life begins with and returns to me. Have faith in what I tell you.

You have to work with the paint and work with whatever the day brings you. If it's a wee bit dreary out, you paint it. But paint it so it makes you glad to be inside near a cozy fire.
