Most Of The Power Of Painting Comes

I Think That One Wants From A Painting A Sense Of Life. The Final Suggestion, The Final Statement, Has To Be Not A Deliberate Statement But A Helpless Statement. It Has To Be What You Can't Avoid Saying.

Intention Involves Such A Small Fragment Of Our Consciousness And Of Our Mind And Of Our Life.

I’m Interested In Things Which Suggest The World Rather Than Express The Personality... The Most Conventional Thing, The Most Ordinary - It Seems To Me That Those Things Can Be Dealt With Without Having To Judge Them; They Seem To Me To Exist As Clear Facts, Not Involving Aesthetic Hierarchy.

Everybody Is Of Course Free To Interpret The Work In His Own Way. I Think Seeing A Picture Is One Thing And Interpreting It Is Another.

I Often Find That Having An Idea In My Head Prevents Me From Doing Something Else. Working Is Therefore A Way Of Getting Rid Of An Idea.
