"I get my
ideas from the simplest things. I prefer a plate out of which a peasant
is eating is soup to the ridiculously ornate plates wealthy people
use... For me, an object is something alive. A cigarette, a matchbox
have a life that is much more intense than that of certain humans. When
I see a tree, I receive a shock, as if the tree were something that
breathed, that talked..." -Joan Miro |
