It's Through Discipline And Tremendous Disappointment And

Anything Can Be Painted Without Representation.

When I Think Of Art I Think Of Beauty. Beauty Is The Mystery Of Life. It Is Not In The Eye It Is In The Mind. In Our Minds There Is Awareness Of Perfection.

I Want To Emphasize The Fact That We All Have The Same Experience And The Same Concern, But The Artist Must Know Exactly What The Experience Is. He Must Pursue The Truth Relentlessly. Once He Sees This Fact His Feet Are On The Path. If You Want To Know The Truth You Will Know It. The Manipulation Of Materials In An Artwork Is A Result Of This State Of Mind. The Artist Works By Awareness Of His Own State Of Mind.

The Enormous Pitfall Is Devotion To Oneself Instead Of To Life. All Works That Are Self-devoted Are Absolutely Ineffective.

What I Say Is That We're Capable Of A Transcendent Response, And I Think It Makes Us Happy. And I Do Think Beauty Produces A Transcendent Response.
