An Artist Is Someone Who Makes Art...

The Drawings That Interest Me Most Are Made With Closed Eyes. With Eyes Closed, I Feel My Hand Slide Down On The Paper. I Have An Image In Mind, But The Results Always Surprise Me.

An Artist Is Forced By Others To Paint Out Of His Own Free Will.

Every So Often, A Painter Has To Destroy Painting. Cezanne Did It, Picasso Did It With Cubism. Then Pollock Did It. He Busted Our Idea Of A Picture All To Hell. Then There Could Be New Paintings Again.

I Paint The Way I Do Because I Can Keep On Putting More And More Things In - Like Drama, Pain, Anger, Love, A Figure, A Horse, My Ideas Of Space. It Doesn't Matter If It Differs From Mine, As Long As It Comes From The Painting, Which Has Its Own Integrity And Intensity.

Spiritually I Am Wherever My Spirit Allows Me To Be, And That Is Not Necessarily In The Future... Art Never Seems To Make Me Peaceful Or Pure.
