When I Look At A Body It

I Use The Gallery As If It Were A Doctor. I Come For Ideas And Help - To Look At Situations Within Painting, Rather Than Paintings.

I Remember Francis Bacon Would Say That He Felt He Was Giving Art What He Thought It Previously Lacked. With Me, It's What Yeats Called The Fascination With What's Difficult. I'm Only Trying To Do What I Can't Do.

Painting Is Sometimes Like Those Recipes Where You Do All Manner Of Elaborate Things To A Duck, And Then End Up Putting It On One Side And Only Using The Skin.

A Painter's Tastes Must Grow Out Of What So Obsesses Him In Life That He Never Has To Ask Himself What It Is Suitable For Him To Do In Art.

The Painter Must Give A Completely Free Rein To Any Feeling Or Sensations He May Have And Reject Nothing To Which He Is Naturally Drawn.
