Many Of Those Who Are Driven To

I Will Say Without Reservations That From My Point Of View There Can Be No Abstractions. Any Shape Or Area That Has Not The Pulsating Concreteness Of Real Flesh And Bones, Its Vulnerability To Pleasure Or Pain Is Nothing At All. Any Picture That Does Not Provide The Environment In Which The Breath Of Life Can Be Drawn Does Not Interest Me.

If You Are Only Moved By Color Relationships, You Are Missing The Point. I Am Interested In Expressing The Big Emotions - Tragedy, Ecstasy, Doom.

With Us The Disguise Must Be Complete. The Familiar Identity Of Things Has To Be Pulverized In Order To Destroy The Finite Associations With Which Our Society Increasingly Enshrouds Every Aspect Of Our Environment.

If Our Titles Recall The Known Myths Of Antiquity, We Have Used Them Again Because They Are The Eternal Symbols Upon Which We Must Fall Back To Express Basic Psychological Ideas.. ...(they) Express Something Real And Existing In Ourselves.

I'm Not An Abstractionist. I'm Not Interested In The Relationship Of Color Or Form Or Anything Else. I'm Interested Only In Expressing Basic Human Emotions: Tragedy, Ecstasy, Doom, And So On.
