And I Think That Even Today, New

Success Is A Worn Down Pencil.

One Has To Believe In What One Is Doing, One Has To Commit Oneself Inwardly, In Order To Do Painting. Once Obsessed, One Ultimately Carries It To The Point Of Believing That One Might Change Human Beings Through Painting. But If One Lacks This Passionate Commitment, There Is Nothing Left To Do. Then It Is Best To Leave It Alone.

It Is Neither Art For Art, Nor Art Against Art. I Am For Art, But For Art That Has Nothing To Do With Art. Art Has Everything To Do With Life, But It Has Nothing To Do With Art.

Very Quickly A Painting Is Turned Into A Facsimile Of Itself When One Becomes So Familiar With With It That One Recognizes It Without Looking At It.

I Want My Paintings To Look Like What's Going On Outside My Window Rather Than What's Inside My Studio.
