Most Of The Power Of Painting Comes

I Would Like To Have Insights Into Things Like Government, All Those Big Ideas That You Brought Up That I Simply Don't Have Ideas About. I Would Like To Be Able To Since So Many People Discuss Them, But I Don't Want To Work At Them. I Don't Think My Ambition Is That Strong In That Direction.

Make Something, A Kind Of Object, Which As It Changes Or Falls Apart (dies As It Were) Or Increases In Its Parts (grows As It Were) Offers No Clue As To What Its State Or Form Or Nature Was At Any Previous Time. Physical And Metaphysical. Obstinacy. Could This Be A Useful Object?

That’s What Painting Does; It Organizes Vision In A Certain Way Or Suggests That Certain Things Be Paid Attention To And Certain Other Things Not Be Paid Attention To. It Functions In That Way To A Certain Extent In Our Civilization.

Generally, I Am Opposed To Painting Which Is Concerned With Conceptions Of Simplicity. Everything Looks Busy To Me.

I Decided That If My Work Contained What I Could Identify As A Likeness To Other Work, I Would Remove It.
