I Don't Paint To Live, I Live

I'd Like To Get All The Colors In The World Into One Painting

I Read Somewhere That Rubens Said Students Should Not Draw From Life, But Draw From All The Great Classic Casts. Then You Really Get The Measure Of Them, You Really Know What To Do. And Then, Put In Your Own Dimples. Isn't That Marvelous!

Spiritually I Am Wherever My Spirit Allows Me To Be, And That Is Not Necessarily In The Future... Art Never Seems To Make Me Peaceful Or Pure.

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

The Attitude That Nature Is Chaotic And That The Artist Puts Order Into It Is A Very Absurd Point Of View, I Think. All That We Can Hope For Is To Put Some Order Into Ourselves.
