Carl Andre Block Quotations

I was never good at painting. The great turning point came when I had a block of wood and I carved a shape into the wood and put a small piece of timber into that space - like a negative - and so it made an endless column, only inward.

Why carve? It's a better sculpture that way. I'll never improve the block. So I just started using uncarved blocks.

What do little kids do? They crawl on the floor and they build with blocks. I just continued to do that for the rest of my life.
