I Think That In The Last Twenty

Basically Painting Is Total Idiocy.

I Don't Think There's Anything Really Wrong With Influence Because I Think That One Can Use Another Man's Art As Material Either Literally Or Just Implying That They're Doing That, Without It Representing A Lack Of A Point Of View.

For The First Time, I Wasn't Embarrassed By The Look Of Beauty, Of Elegance, Because When You See Someone Who Has Only One Rag As Their Property, But It Happens To Be Beautiful And Pink And Silk, Beauty Doesn't Have To Be Separated... I Have Always Said That You Shouldn't Have Biases, You Shouldn't Have Prejudices. But Before That [before His Trip To India, Circa 1975] I'd Never Been Able To Use Purple, Because It Was Too Beautiful.

But I Was In Awe Of The Painters; I Mean I Was New In New York, And I Thought The Painting That Was Going On Here Was Just Unbelievable

An Empty Canvas Is Full Only If You Want It To Be Full.
