A Man's Life Is His Work; His

Something In Me Knows Where I’m Going, And - Well, Painting Is A State Of Being. ... Painting Is Self-discovery. Every Good Artist Paints What He Is.

The Modern Artist Is Living In A Mechanical Age And We Have A Mechanical Means Of Representing Objects In Nature Such As The Camera And Photograph. The Modern Artist, It Seems To Me, Is Working And Expressing An Inner World - In Other Words - Expressing The Energy, The Motion, And Other Inner Forces.

Well, Method Is, It Seems To Me, A Natural Growth Out Of A Need, And From A Need The Modern Artist Has Found New Ways Of Expressing The World About Him. I Happen To Find Ways That Are Different From The Usual Techniques, Which Seems A Little Strange At The Moment, But I Don't Think There's Anything Very Different About It. I Paint On The Floor And This Isn't Unusual - The Orientals Did That.

As To What I Would Like To Be, It Is Difficult To Say. An Artist Of Some Kind. If Nothing Else I Shall Always Study The Arts.

It Doesn't Make Much Difference How The Paint Is Put On As Long As Something Has Been Said. Technique Is Just A Means Of Arriving At A Statement.
