• A good painting never stops giving of itself.

• Art upsets; science reassures.

• Form and colour do not merge, there is simultaneity.

• I believe my picture is only finished when the original idea is completely extinguished.

• I have found painting to be a means of hanging up my ideas. This enables me to change them and avoid any fixed idea.

• If a painting doesn't disquiet, what is it?

• The painting is complete when the idea is obliterated.

I had thought the original quote of this was more like: "-when the idea is obliterated (transferred) from the mind to the painting." Although I cannot now provide that source!
