One Works Without Thinking How To Work.

I Think A Painting Should Include More Experience Than Simply Intended Statement.

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.

Marcel Duchamp, One Of This Century's Pioneers, Moved His Work Through The Retinal Boundaries Which Had Been Established With Impressionism Into A Field Where Language, Thought And Vision Act Upon One Another. There It Changed Form Through A Complex Interplay Of New Mental And Physical Materials, Heralding Many Of The Technical, Mental And Visual Details To Be Found In More Recent Art... He Declared That He Wanted To Kill Art ("for Myself") But His Persistent Attempts To Destroy Frames Of Reference Altered Our Thinking, Established New Units Of Thought, A "new Thought For That Object."

Put A Lot Of Paint & A Wooden Ball Or Other Object On A Board. Push To The Other End Of The Board. Use This In A Painting. - Ruler On Board.

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.
