Intention Involves Such A Small Fragment Of

Early On I Was Very Involved With The Notion Of The Painting As An Object And Tended To Attack That Idea From Different Directions.

One Night I Dreamed That I Painted A Large American Flag, And The Next Morning I Got Up And I Went Out And Bought The Materials To Begin It.

A-not-complete-unit, Or A New Unit. The Elements In The 3 Parts Should Neither Fit Nor Not Fit Together. One Would Like Not To Be Led. Avoid The Idea Of A Puzzle Which Could Be Solved. Remove The Signs Of "thought." It Is Not "thought" Which Needs Showing.

In My Early Work, I Tried To Hide My Personality, My Psychological State, My Emotions. This Was Partly Due To My Feelings About Myself And Partly Due To My Feelings About Painting At The Time. I Sort Of Stuck To My Guns For A While But Eventually It Seemed Like A Losing Battle. Finally One Must Simply Drop The Reserve.

To Do A Drawing For A Painting Most Often Means Doing Something Very Sketchy And Schematic And Then Later Making It Polished.
