  • In 1970, an interviewer said to him, "Your things look as if they’d been turned out by a machine. The perfection is so extraordinary. Perhaps you feel that a work of art should look as if the human hand hasn’t touched it." Anuszkiewicz replied, 

    "I really don’t feel that it’s the hand. I think it’s the mind that’s important here. We put too much emphasis on the hand. And the mind is something that can never be replaced. You can never create any new art unless it’s created by the human mind."
