Even Abstract Shapes Must Have A Likeness

My Interest In Desperation Lies Only In That Sometimes I Find Myself Having Become Desperate. Very Seldom Do I Start Out That Way. I Can See Of Course That, In The Abstract, Thinking And All Activity Is Rather Desperate.

Maybe In That Earlier Phase I Was Painting The Woman In Me. Art Isn't A Wholly Masculine Occupation, You Know.

If You're An Artist, The Problem Is To Make A Picture Work Whether You Are Happy Or Not.

You Have To Keep On The Very Edge Of Something, All The Time, Or The Picture Dies.

I Don't Paint To Live, I Live To Paint.
