beautiful reality age
In an age in which the classic words of the Surrealists— 'As beautiful as the unexpected meeting, on a dissecting table, of a sewing machine and an umbrella'—can become reality and perfectly achievable with an atom bomb, so too has there been a surge of interest in biomechanoids
reality ideas people
Some people would say my paintings show a future world and maybe they do, but I paint from reality. I put several things and ideas together, and perhaps, when I have finished, it could show the future.
I was my mother's favorite, and she'd help me with everything.
travel
I'm a painter, really. To be successful, you have to go to Hollywood, and I didn't like to travel.
work
No, I didn't work it out upside down, I never turned it around.
people
Sometimes people only see horrible, terrible things in my paintings.
When I was a young boy, I was obsessed with skulls and mummies and things like that.
bit busy carefully funny hear nice problem studying stuff text
You know, I said I have this problem that I need to more carefully read Akron's text because it's too much, too much fantasy, and so I am busy with other stuff - it's funny, it's nice to hear that someone is studying that carefully and now I know a little bit more about that.
I don't know, if somebody doesn't tell me how would I know?
different cards normal
You know, it was just another presentation of my work, and a funny one, because the cards are quite different from the normal Tarot deck, no?
shaking
The more famous I get, the more I am tolerated, albeit with some head-shaking.
art curves lines
I like elegance. I like art nouveau; a stretched line or curve. These things are very much in the foreground of my work.
artist pay life-is
To wear something like that your whole life is the largest compliment someone can pay to you as an artist.
kind mystery painting
You know I was curious - I was interested in all kinds of mystery or deeper meanings in the paintings because I myself have not analyzed why they have turned out like this or like that.
