17. “…if you pick up some paint with your brush and make somebody's nose
with it, this is rather ridiculous when you think of it, theoretically or
philosophically. It's really absurd to make an image, like a human image, with
paint, today, when you think about it, since we have this problem of doing it
or not doing it. But then all of a sudden it was even more absurd not to do it.
So I fear I have to follow my desires.”
—Willem de Kooning, in a 1962 radio interview
