photography mean differences
I don't see a big difference between painting and photography. Moreover, such distinctions mean nothing to me.
people trying painter
Picabia is a very old painter who some people try to connect me to, but I refuse such comparisons very well.
Because I was traveling a lot during the '70s, the only thing I could do on the road was take photographs, so there wasn't much painting during those years.
children drawing
As a child, I copied Duerer drawings and Bruegel.
opportunity thinking luck
I’m a believer in luck and think the social conditions you’re born into provide the opportunity for you to prove your luck. And I suppose I’ve been lucky.
fall years museums
Yes, my works... are enshrined in museums, but I don't care if the pieces fall apart in 20 years.
art renaissance young
When I was young, I was interested in Renaissance art.
