To Create Is Divine, To Reproduce Is

Speaking Of Nudes, I Have Always Had A Great Fondness For This Subject, Both In My Paintings And In My Photos, And I Must Admit, Not For Purely Artistic Reasons.

All My Life I Have Painted Pictures So That Certain People Would Drop Dead When They Looked At Them, But I Have Not Succeeded Yet. The Worst Painting Cant Hurt You, But A Bad Driver Can Kill You, A Bad Judge Can Send You To The Chair, A Bad Politician Can Ruin An Entire Country, That Is Why Even A Bad Painting Is Sacred.

I Am An Economic Person; I Judge The Amount Of Work Involved With The Amount Of Worth Attained.

I Have Been Accused Of Being A Joker. But The Most Successful Art To Me Involves Humor.

To Me, A Painter, If Not The Most Useful, Is The Least Harmful Member Of Our Society.
