Art Should Not Have To Be A

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.

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.

What You Do When You Paint, You Take A Brush Full Of Paint, Get Paint On The Picture, And You Have Faith.

Man's Own Form In Space - His Body - Was A Private Prison; And That It Was Because Of This Imprisoning Misery - Because He Was Hungry And Overworked And Went To A Horrid Place Called Home Late At Night In The Rain, And His Bones Ached And His Head Was Heavy.

The Idea Of Space Is Given To The Artist To Change If He Can. The Subject Matter In The Abstract Is Space.
