Art To Me Is An Anecdote Of

(i Am) Dealing Not With The Particular Anecdote, But Rather With The Spirit Of Myth, Which Is Generic To All Myths At All Times.

The Reason For My Painting Large Canvases Is That I Want To Be Intimate And Human.

I Will Say Without Reservations That From My Point Of View There Can Be No Abstractions. Any Shape Or Area That Has Not The Pulsating Concreteness Of Real Flesh And Bones, Its Vulnerability To Pleasure Or Pain Is Nothing At All. Any Picture That Does Not Provide The Environment In Which The Breath Of Life Can Be Drawn Does Not Interest Me.

Without Monsters And Gods, Art Cannot Enact A Drama.

The Most Interesting Painting Is One That Expresses More Of What One Thinks Than Of What One Sees
