The Only Real Influence I've Ever Had

Well, I Have A Very Simple Method Of Painting.

The Idea (for The Painting 'room In New York', 1932, Ed.) Had Been In My Mind A Long Time Before I Painted It. It Was Suggested By Glimpses Of Lighted Interiors Seen As I Walked Along City Streets At Night, Probably Near The District Where I Live (washington Square, New York, Fh) Although It's No Particular Street Or House, But Is Really A Synthesis Of Many Impressions.

If The Picture Needs Varnishing Later, I Allow A Restorer To Do That, If There's Any Restoring Necessary.

Painting Will Have To Deal More Fully And Less Obliquely With Life And Nature's Phenomena Before It Can Again Become Great.

I Once Got A Little Camera To Use For Details Of Architecture And So Forth But The Photo Was Always So Different From The Perspective The Eye Gives, I Gave It Up.
