Art isn't done to decorate apartments, but to wage war against the enemy.
If artists cannot speak up for human dignity or rights, then who else will do it?
Art should be created for life, not for the museum.
Painting is not done to decorate apartments. It is an instrument of war.
Use your art to fight.
Art must not be concentrated in dead shrines called museums. It must be spread everywhere –- on the streets, in the trams, factories, workshops, and in the workers' homes.
Painting is not made to decorate apartments. It's an offensive and defensive weapon against the enemy. (about Guernica).
It's wonderful to see art in a museum, but it is institutionalised. I don't like the idea of the artwork as something that requires special conditions. I would like it to be universal.
I'm painting the paintings that I want to see in museums. And I'm hopefully presenting them in a way that's universal enough that they become representative of something different than just a black body on a canvas.
Though some may think there should be a separation between art/music and politics, it should be reinforced that art can be a form of nonviolent protest.
