There Is A Black Which Is Old

I Tried To Oppose The Academic To The Marketplace.

The More An Artist Works The More There Is To Do.

It Is Not Right For Painters To Think That Painting Is Like Prostitution, That 'first You Do It For Love, Then You Do It For Others, And Finally You Do It For Money.

The Ugliest Spectacle Is That Of Artists Selling Themselves. Art As A Commodity Is An Ugly Idea... The Artist As Businessman Is Uglier Than The Businessman As Artist.

The One Object Of Fifty Years Of Abstract Art Is To Present Art-as-art And As Nothing Else, To Make It Into The One Thing It Is Only, Separating And Defining It More And More, Making It Purer And Emptier, More Absolute And More Exclusive - Non-objective, Non-representational, Non-figurative, Non-imagist, Non-expressionist, Non-subjective. The Only And One Way To Say What Abstract Art Or Art-as-art Is, Is To Say What It Is Not.
