Max ErnstLes Pleiades1920
“…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 interviewBorn in Holland, emigrated to the USWell-known abstract active 1940s-80s
