Willem de Kooning

"The attitude that nature is chaotic and that the artist puts order into it is a very absurd point of view, I think. All that we can hope for is to put some order into ourselves."
“If you pick up some paint with your brush and make somebody’s nose with it, this is rather ridiculous…. It’s really absurd to make an image, like a human image, with paint, today.” - Willem de Kooning”
