Nothing As Drastic An Innovation As Abstract Art Could Have Come In To Existence, Save As The Consequence Of A Most Profound, Relentless, Unquenchable Need. The Need Is For Felt Experience - Intense, Immediate, Direct, Subtle, Unified, Warm, Vivid, Rhythmic.

A Main Part Of The Struggle Of Art Has Been To Make An Art That Is Direct, Simple, Humane, Unconnected With Powers That Be In Their Essence... To The Degree That It Is Connected With The Bourgeoisie Via The Marketplace And So On Is Not Necessarily An Artist's Problem.

It Is True That Every Artist Has His Own Religion.

I Dislike A Picture That Is Too Suave Or Too Skilfully Done. But, Contrariwise, I Also Dislike A Picture That Looks Too Inept Or Blundering.
