To us art is an adventure into an unknown world, which can be explored only by those willing to take the risk.

More quotes by Adolph Gottlieb

If we depart form tradition, it is out of knowledge, not innocence.

We are going to have perhaps a thousand years of non-representational painting.

In times of violence, personal predilections for niceties of colour and form seem irrelevant. All primitive expression (like the myths) reveals the constant awareness of powerful forces, the immediate presence of terror and fear.

The role of the artist, of course, has always been that of image-maker. Different times require different images.

To my mind certain so-called abstraction is not abstraction at all.. ..on the contrary it is realism of our time.
