Image-thought

An artist needs both knowledge and the power of observation only so that he can tell from what he is abstaining, and to be sure that his abstention will not appear artificial or false.
For in the end it is important to confine yourself within a framework that will deepen your world, not impoverish it, help you to create it, excluding all pretentiousness and efforts to be original.
As far as possible all links with life have to be excluded with no loss of truthfulness, discarding only the superfluous trash that appears to be a sign of authenticity, of convincing argument.
For such arguments lie outside the parameters of image-thought, in an area where quantity can never be transmitted into quality.
