On his drawings: " The drawings don't start with 'a beautiful mark'. It has to be a mark of something out there in the world. It doesn't have to be an accurate drawing, but it has to stand for an observation, not something that is abstract, like an emotion."
-William Kentridge by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev (1998), Societe des Expositions du Palais de Beaux-Arts de Bruxelles.
