Art and Destruction
...this act of destruction is the expression of an idea which I've always tried to put across in art: the idea that what we call reality is not real at all. When I draw a head, for example, I immediately feel an urge to destroy it, to erase it, because the drawing only captures an outward appearance and for me the vital issue is what lies behind the visual form of the head...there is something evocative about the idea of destruction.
