I See The Canvas And I Begin...

Yes, I Am Influenced By Everbody. But Every Time I Put My Hands In My Pockets I Find Someone Else's Fingers There.

The Point They (lissitzky, Rodchenko, Tatlin, Gabo, The Neo-plasticists, And So On) All Had In Common Was To Be Inside And Outside At The Same Time. For Me, To Be Inside And Outside Is To Be In An Unheated Studio With Broken Windows In The Winter, Or Taking A Nap On Somebody's Porch In The Summer.

An Artist Is Someone Who Makes Art... He Didn't Invent It.

I Think I'm Painting A Picture Of Two Women But It May Turn Out To Be A Landscape.

Whatever An Artist's Personal Feelings Are, As Soon As An Artist Fills A Certain Area On The Canvas Or Circumscribes It, He Becomes Historical. He Acts From Or Upon Other Artists. An Artist Is Someone Who Makes Art Too. He Did Not Invent It. How It Started — "to Hell With It." It Is Obvious That It Has No Progress. The Idea Of Space Is Given Him To Change If He Can. The Subject Matter In The Abstract Is Space. He Fills It With An Attitude. The Attitude Never Comes From Himself Alone.
