Art To Me Is An Anecdote Of

Pictures Must Be Miraculous: The Instant One Is Completed, The Intimacy Between The Creation And The Creator Is Ended.

It Is Really A Matter Of Ending This Silence And Solitude, Of Breathing And Stretching One's Arms Again.

We Favor The Simple Expression Of The Complex Thought. We Are For The Large Shape Because It Has The Impact Of The Unequivocal. We Wish To Reassert The Picture Plane. We Are For Flat Forms Because They Destroy Illusion And Reveal Truth.

You Think My Paintings Are Calm, Like Windows In Some Cathedral? You Should Look Again. I'm The Most Violent Of All The American Painters. Behind Those Colours There Hides The Final Cataclysm.

If You Are Moved Only By The Color Relationships, Then You Miss The Point.
