- Beauty
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I am still a victim of chess. It has all the beauty of art - and much more. It cannot be commercialized. Chess is much purer than art in its social position.
- Man
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The individual - man as a man, man as a brain, if you like - interests me more than what he makes because I've noticed that most artists only repeat themselves.
- Myself
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have forced myself to contradict myself in order to avoid conforming to my own taste.
- Believe
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't believe in art. I believe in artists.
- Ideas
- |

I am interested in ideas, not merely in visual products.
- Meaning
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There is something like an explosion in the meaning of certain words: they have a greater value than their meaning in the dictionary.
- Believe

- Nov 07, 2020
I shy away from the word 'creation.' In the ordinary, social meaning of the word - well, it's very nice, but fundamentally, I don't believe in the creative function of the artist. He's a man like any other.
- Life

- Nov 07, 2020
The word 'art' interests me very much. If it comes from Sanskrit, as I've heard, it signifies 'making.' Now everyone makes something, and those who make things on a canvas with a frame, they're called artists. Formerly, they were called craftsmen, a term I prefer. We're all craftsmen, in civilian or military or artistic life.
- Living

- Nov 07, 2020
I became a librarian at the Sainte-Genevieve Library in Paris. I made this gesture to rid myself of a certain milieu, a certain attitude, to have a clean conscience, but also to make a living. I was twenty-five. I had been told that one must make a living, and I believed it.
- Make

When you make a painting, even abstract, there is always a sort of necessary filling-in.
- America
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I didn't abandon everything at a moment's notice - on the contrary. I returned to France from America, leaving the 'Large Glass' unfinished.
- Drawing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
A game of chess is a visual and plastic thing, and if it isn't geometric in the static sense of the word, it is mechanical, since it moves. It's a drawing; it's a mechanical reality.
- Beauty
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In chess, there are some extremely beautiful things in the domain of movement, but not in the visual domain. It's the imagining of the movement or of the gesture that makes the beauty in this case.
- Enthusiasm
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was highly attracted to chess for forty or forty-five years; then, little by little, my enthusiasm lessened.
