I Like The Idea Of The Museum

We All Name Ourselves. We Call Ourselves Artists. Nobody Asks Us. Nobody Says You Are Or You Aren't.

I Like The Idea Of The Museum World And The University-academic Situation Where Artists Talk To Each Other Or Where Artists Or Art Students Study With Artists.

My Paintings Are The Last Paintings One Can Make.

Now Almost Every Artist Outside Of New York Is Connected With Some School Or Some Museum School, And Even In New York The Majority Are. That's An Interesting Fact When You Take The Idea Of Making Money, Making A Living Selling Paintings. Only A Dozen Or Two Painters Do That.

As For A Picture, If It Isn't Worth A Thousand Words, The Hell With It.
