“In his worst periods he looked like a shabby artist: unwashed, drunk, fat. So he pulled his underpants up over his belly like Picasso, stuck out his paunch, had a photo taken, and turned it into an exhibition poster, or a painting, or a calendar. Every weakness became a strength when transformed into art, even if the pain remained.”
— Susanne Kippenberger
