I Was The Least Pop Of All

Some People Like To Paint Trees. I Like To Paint Love. I Find It More Meaningful Than Painting Trees.

I Realize That Protest Paintings Are Not Exactly In Vogue, But I've Done Many.

I've Always Been Fascinated By Numbers. Before I Was Seventeen Years Old, I Had Lived In Twenty-one Different Houses. In My Mind, Each Of Those Houses Had A Number.

Pop Art Is The American Dream, Optimistic, Generous, And Naive!

Pop Is Everything Art Hasn't Been For The Last Two Decades...it Springs Newborn Out Of A Boredom With The Finality And Over-saturation Of Abstract-expressionism, Which, By Its Own Esthetic Logic, Is The End Of Art, The Glorious Pinnacle Of The Long Pyramidal Creative Process. Stifled By This Rarefied Atmosphere, Some Young Painters Turn Back To Some Less Exalted Things Like Coca-cola, Ice-cream Sodas, Big Hamburgers, Super-markets And 'eat' Signs. They Are Eye-hungry; They Pop.
