I Met David Smith Through My Former

I Think Of Painting Without Subject Matter As Music Without Words.

With Artists Of My Own Generation There Was At First No Group Identity - And Never A Clique.

As Time Goes On, I Realize More And More That, Beginning In The Early 30's, David Smith Began Setting The Precedent For What Was To Come Later For Many Of Us.

In The '50s Morris Louis And I Were Not Known, David Smith And Helen Frankenthaler Were Not Much Known.

Usually I Throw Away What I Don't Get Right The First Time.
