More From Willem De Kooning
Whatever An Artist's Personal Feelings Are, As Soon As An Artist Fills A Certain Area On The Canvas Or Circumscribes It, He Becomes Historical. He Acts From Or Upon Other Artists. An Artist Is Someone Who Makes Art Too. He Did Not Invent It. How It Started — "to Hell With It." It Is Obvious That It Has No Progress. The Idea Of Space Is Given Him To Change If He Can. The Subject Matter In The Abstract Is Space. He Fills It With An Attitude. The Attitude Never Comes From Himself Alone.
