| gptkbp:famous_quote |
" The more I see, the less I know."
“ The sculpture is a way of seeing.” " I paint with my eyes, not with my hands." " The object of art is not a thing, it is a way of seeing." “ I am not interested in the object itself, but in the way it is perceived.” “ What I want to do is to make a figure that is not a figure.” “ The object of art is not a rarified object but a human being.” “ I paint with my eyes.” “ I want to make a man who is not a man.” “ I want to make a sculpture that is like a shadow.” “ I am not interested in the visible, but in the invisible.” “ The object of my art is to make the invisible visible.” " I want to make a man who is not a man." " The object of art is not a rarified object but a human being." " What I want to do is to make a man who is not a man." " I paint with my feet." " I want to make a sculpture that is a man." " The object of my work is to make a man." “ The object of art is not a thing, it is a way of seeing.” “ I paint with my feet.” “ I want to make things that are not there.” “ The object of art is not a rarified object, but a human being.” " I am not a sculptor, I am a painter." " The object of art is not a rarified object, but a way of seeing." " I want to make a portrait of a man, not a statue." “ I am not interested in the subject, but in the way it is represented.” “ I want to make a sculpture that is a man.” “ The object of my work is to make a man.” |
