If Some Student Came Up And Wanted

If Some Student Came Up And Wanted To Know Where To Study Painting, You'd Want To Suggest Someplace, But There's No Place. I Wouldn't Know Where To Send A Student To Study.

Art Is Art. Everything Else Is Everything Else.

The One Object Of Fifty Years Of Abstract Art Is To Present Art-as-art And As Nothing Else, To Make It Into The One Thing It Is Only, Separating And Defining It More And More, Making It Purer And Emptier, More Absolute And More Exclusive - Non-objective, Non-representational, Non-figurative, Non-imagist, Non-expressionist, Non-subjective. The Only And One Way To Say What Abstract Art Or Art-as-art Is, Is To Say What It Is Not.

Art Is Too Serious To Be Taken Seriously.

As An Artist I Would Like To Eliminate The Symbolic Pretty Much, For Black Is Interesting Not As A Color But As A Non-color And As The Absence Of Color.
