The Only Real Influence I've Ever Had

The Trend In Some Of The Contemporary Movements In Art, But By No Means All, Seems To Deny This Ideal And To Me Appears To Lead To A Purely Decorative Conception Of Painting.

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.

Well, I've Always Been Interested In Approaching A Big City In A Train, And I Can't Exactly Describe The Sensations, But They're Entirely Human And Perhaps Have Nothing To Do With Aesthetics.

It's To Paint Directly On The Canvas Without Any Funny Business, As It Were, And I Use Almost Pure Turpentine To Start With, Adding Oil As I Go Along Until The Medium Becomes Pure Oil. I Use As Little Oil As I Can Possibly Help, And That's My Method.

Great Art Is The Outward Expression Of An Inner Life In The Artist, And This Inner Life Will Result In His Personal Vision Of The World.
