I Don't Express Myself In My Paintings.

The Most Interesting Painting Is One That Expresses More Of What One Thinks Than Of What One Sees

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.

I Also Hang The Pictures Low Rather Than High, And Particularly In The Case Of The Largest Ones, Often As Close To The Floor As Is Feasible, For That Is The Way They Are Painted.

There Is Only One Thing I Fear In Life, My Friend: One Day, The Black Will Swallow The Red.

The Myth Holds Us, Therefore, Not Through Its Romantic Flavor, Not The Remembrance Of Beauty Of Some Bygone Age, Not Through The Possibilities Of Fantasy, But Because It Expresses To Us Something Real And Existing In Ourselves, As It Was To Those Who First Stumbled Upon The Symbols To Give Them Life.
