"The abstract pictures are no less arbitrary than all object-bound
representations (based on any old motif, which is supposed to turn into a
picture). The only difference is that in these the 'motif' evolves only
during the process of painting. So they imply that I do not know what I
want to represent, or how to begin; that I have only highly imprecise
and invariably false ideas of the motif that I am to make into a
picture; and therefore that – motivated as I am solely by ignorance and
frivolity – I am in a position to start. (The 'solely' stands for life!)"
