Art is creative for the sake of realization, not for amusement.. for transfiguration, not for the sake of play.
I hardly need to abstract things, for each object is unreal enough already, so unreal that I can only make it real by means of painting.
Beckmann, Max
My heart beats more for a raw, average vulgar art, which doesn't live between sleepy fairy-tale moods and poetry but rather concedes a direct entrance to the fearful, commonplace, splendid and the average grotesque banality in life.
