Color Is Crucial In Painting, But It

Picasso's Always Been Such A Huge Influence That I Thought When I Started The Cartoon Paintings That I Was Getting Away From Picasso, And Even My Cartoons Of Picasso Were Done Almost To Rid Myself Of His Influence.

Pop Art Is Industrial Painting. I Think The Meaning Of My Work Is That It Is Industrial, It's What All The World Will Soon Become. Europe Will Be The Same Way, Soon, It Won't Be American; It Will Be Universal.

My Work Sanitizes It (emotion) But It Is Also Symbolic Of Commercial Art Sanitizing Human Feelings. I Think It Can Be Read That Way.... People Mistake The Character Of Line For The Character Of Art. But It's Really The Position Of Line That's Important, Or The Position Of Anything, Any Contrast, Not The Character Of It.

There Is A Relationship Between Cartooning And People Like Mir? And Picasso Which May Not Be Understood By The Cartoonist, But It Definitely Is Related Even In The Early Disney.

Pop Art Looks Out Into The World. It Doesnt Look Like A Painting Of Something, It Looks Like The Thing Itself.
