"When I paint, the language that I use is so abstract—even when I’m representing something recognizable—that it’s the public that has to act on its own account. They have to look at the painting, observe it, without external explanations. I paint that which surprises me, not what I already know. I want to use the medium of painting to see what I have not yet seen." Julian Schnabel
