What does painting mean to me? ('warum male* ich' translated by Peter Fischer)
When I talk about painting, I mean any process of creation, be it the creation of tableaux and paintings, of music or be it the process of writing.
Whenever I create something, I do paint.
As soon as I think, I realize that I dont have the faintest idea of anything.
When I paint, though, I know it all! Everything! This is the way I approach to the inaccessible.
It is the approach to something that is hidden somewhere there. When I paint, I neither think about nor contemplate it.
In other words: I know nothing except the fact of my ignorance while thinking. Thats why I paint.
