I Have Tried To Present My Sensations

The Idea (for The Painting 'room In New York', 1932, Ed.) Had Been In My Mind A Long Time Before I Painted It. It Was Suggested By Glimpses Of Lighted Interiors Seen As I Walked Along City Streets At Night, Probably Near The District Where I Live (washington Square, New York, Fh) Although It's No Particular Street Or House, But Is Really A Synthesis Of Many Impressions.

I Use A Retouching Varnish Which Is Made In France, Libert, And That's All The Varnish I Use.

Painting Will Have To Deal More Fully And Less Obliquely With Life And Nature's Phenomena Before It Can Again Become Great.

The Trend In Some Of The Contemporary Movements In Art, But By No Means All, Seems To Deny This Ideal And To Me Appears To Lead To A Purely Decorative Conception Of Painting.

So Many People Say Painting Is Fun. I Don't Find It Fun At All. It's Hard Work For Me.
