A Subject Emerges From An Interaction Between

For A Painter As Abstract As Myself, The Collages Offer A Way Of Incorporating Bits Of The Everyday World Into Pictures.

For Me, The Sketchbooks Are More Like A Secret And Wholly Spontaneous Jeu D'esprit And Some Of Them I Like As Much As Anything I Have Ever Done. They Are Invariably Without Premeditation. I Mean Not Only That I Have No Plan When I Make Them, I Also Have No Plan To Make Them.

The Problems Of Inventing A New Language Are Staggering. But What Else Can One Do If One Needs To Express One's Feeling Precisely?

Art Is An Experience, Not An Object.

Every Intelligent Painter Carries The Whole Culture Of Modern Painting In His Head. It Is His Real Subject, Of Which Everything He Paints In Both An Homage And A Critique, And Everything He Says Is A Gloss.
