When I work, I work very fast, but preparing to work can take any length of time.
- Cy Twombly
It's instinctive in a certain kind of painting...It's like a nervous system. It's not described, it's happening. The feeling is going on with the task. The line is the feeling, from a soft thing, a dreamy thing, to something hard, something arid, something lonely, something ending, something beginning.
- Cy Twombly
My brush-strokes start in nothing and they end in nothing, and in-between you find the image.
- Karel Appel
Every line is the actual experience with its own unique story.
- Cy Twombly
My line is childlike but not childish. It is very difficult to fake... to get that quality you need to project yourself into the child's line. It has to be felt.
- Cy Twombly
You have to learn it all, then forget it and start again like a child. This is the inner evolution.
- Karel Appel
