Arshile Gorky Quotes

• La abstracción permite al hombre ver con la mente lo que no puede ver físicamente con los ojos... El arte abstracto permite al artista percibir más allá de lo tangible, extraer lo infinito de lo finito. Es la emancipación de la mente. Es una explosión hacia zonas desconocidas.

• I like painting because it's something I never come to the end of. Sometimes I paint a picture, then I paint it all out. Sometimes I'm working on fifteen or twenty pictures at the same time.
