I Don't Express Myself In My Paintings.

The Fact That People Break Down And Cry When Confronted With My Pictures Shows That I Can Communicate Those Basic Human Emotions.. The People Who Weep Before My Pictures Are Having The Same Religious Experience I Had When Painting Them. And If You Say You Are Moved Only By Their Color Relationships Then You Miss The Point.

Without Monsters And Gods, Art Cannot Enact A Drama.

I'm Interested Only In Expressing Basic Human Emotions. And The Fact That A Lot Of People Break Down And Cry When Confronted With My Pictures Shows That I Can Communicate These Basic Human Emotions.

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.

This World Of The Imagination Is Fancy-free And Violently Opposed To Common Sense.
