Without Monsters And Gods, Art Cannot Enact

There Is No Such Thing As Good Painting About Nothing.

A Painting Is Not A Picture Of An Experience, But Is The Experience.

Small Pictures Since The Renaissance Are Like Novels; Large Pictures Are Like Dramas In Which One Participates In A Direct Way.

The Progression Of A Painter’s Work…will Be Toward Clarity; Toward The Elimination Of All Obstacles Between The Painter And The Idea, And Between The Idea And The Observer…to Achieve This Clarity Is, Inevitably, To Be Understood.

You Think My Paintings Are Calm, Like Windows In Some Cathedral? You Should Look Again. I'm The Most Violent Of All The American Painters. Behind Those Colours There Hides The Final Cataclysm.
