Art Is Too Serious To Be Taken

I Taught A Lot Of Art History, Especially Chinese, Japanese, And Indian. But The Painting Classes Came Back. The Nudes Came Back. Not So Much The Still Lifes. So Now Our Department Is The Worst Department, Partly Because It Has The Worst Facilities.

The Only And One Way To Say What Abstract Art Or Art-as-art Is, Is To Say What It Is Not.

As An Artist I Would Like To Eliminate The Symbolic Pretty Much, For Black Is Interesting Not As A Color But As A Non-color And As The Absence Of Color.

The More An Artist Works The More There Is To Do.

There Is A Black Which Is Old And A Black Which Is Fresh. Lustrous Black And Dull Black, Black In Sunlight And Black In Shadow.
