Art Should Not Have To Be A

I'm Not Interested In 'abstracting' Or Taking Things Out Or Reducing Painting To Design, Form, Line, And Color. I Paint This Way Because I Can Keep Putting More Things In It - Drama, Anger, Pain, Love, A Figure, A Horse, My Ideas About Space. Through Your Eyes It Again Becomes An Emotion Or Idea.

It's Really Absurd To Make... A Human Image, With Paint, Today, When You Think About It... But Then All Of A Sudden, It Was Even More Absurd Not To Do It.

And Then There Is That One-man Movement, Marcel Duchamp For Me A Truly Modern Movement Because It Implies That Each Artist Can Do What He Thinks He Ought To A Movement For Each Person And Open For Everybody.

Not Even For A Million Dollars Would I Paint A Tree.

Even An Abstract Form Has To Have A Likeness.
