The Trouble With Being Poor Is That

The Word 'abstract' Comes From The Light Tower Of The Philosophers. One Of Their Spotlights That They Have Particularly Focused On 'art'. [abstraction Was] Not So Much What You Could Paint But Rather What You Could Not Paint. You Could Not Paint A House Or A Tree Or A Mountain. It Was Then That Subject Matter Came Into Existence As Something You Ought Not Have.

It's Really Absurd To Make... A Human Image, With Paint, Today, When You Think About It... But Then All Of A Sudden, It Was Even More Absurd Not To Do It.

The Idea Of Space Is Given To The Artist To Change If He Can. The Subject Matter In The Abstract Is Space.

I'd Like To Get All The Colors In The World Into One Painting

If I Stretch My Arms And Wonder Where My Fingers Are - That Is All The Space I Need As A Painter.
