I Do Not Paint Nature. I Am

I Don't Use The Accident - 'cause I Deny The Accident

A Man's Life Is His Work; His Work Is His Life.

With Experience It Seems To Be Possible To Control The Flow Of Paint, To A Great Extent, And I Don't Use - I Don't Use The Accident - 'cause I Deny The Accident... It's Quite Different From Working, Say, From A Still Life Where You Set Up Objects And Work Directly From Them. I Do Have A General Notion Of What I'm About And What The Results Will Be. I Approach Painting In The Same Sense As One Approaches Drawing, That Is, It's Direct.

He Drove His Kind Of Realism At Me So Hard I Bounced Right Into Nonobjective Painting.

Art Is Coming Face To Face With Yourself.
