Each Brushstroke Is A Decision.

Painting Is A Medium In Which The Mind Can Actualize Itself; It Is A Medium Of Thought. Thus Painting, Like Music, Tends To Become Its Own Content.

For Me, The Sketchbooks Are More Like A Secret And Wholly Spontaneous Jeu D'esprit And Some Of Them I Like As Much As Anything I Have Ever Done. They Are Invariably Without Premeditation. I Mean Not Only That I Have No Plan When I Make Them, I Also Have No Plan To Make Them.

The Main Thing Is Not To Be Dead.

In The End I Realize That Whatever Meaning That Picture Has Is The Accumulated Meaning Of Ten Thousand Brushstrokes, Each One Being Decided As It Was Painted.

The Abstractness Of Modern Art Has To Do With How Much An Enlightened Mind Rejects Of The Contemporary Social Order.
