at all costs
Does the highlighted sentence want to say:
1. but he does not want to "get away from painting at all costs" (meaning that yes, he wants to get away from painting, but in a mild manner and not at all costs)?
or
2. but he at no costs wants to get away from painting (meaning that he no way wants to get away from painting)?
I think #1 is intended. Am I right?
Context:
As such Bonami seems, in fact, to be headed somewhere else entirely: not by any means away from painting at all costs, but certainly away, first, from its enshrinement as a precooked encounter for the viewer...
