In Art One Idea Is As Good

Every So Often, A Painter Has To Destroy Painting. Cezanne Did It, Picasso Did It With Cubism. Then Pollock Did It. He Busted Our Idea Of A Picture All To Hell. Then There Could Be New Paintings Again.

Not Even For A Million Dollars Would I Paint A Tree.

I Read Somewhere That Rubens Said Students Should Not Draw From Life, But Draw From All The Great Classic Casts. Then You Really Get The Measure Of Them, You Really Know What To Do. And Then, Put In Your Own Dimples. Isn't That Marvelous!

An Artist Is Forced By Others To Paint Out Of His Own Free Will.

What You Do When You Paint, You Take A Brush Full Of Paint, Get Paint On The Picture, And You Have Faith.
