When I Say Artist I Mean The

The Modern Artist... Is Working And Expressing An Inner World - In Other Words - Expressing The Energy, The Motion, And Other Inner Forces.

When I Am In A Painting, I'm Not Aware Of What I'm Doing. It Is Only After A Sort Of 'get Acquainted' Period That I See What I Have Been About. I Have No Fears About Making Changes, Destroying The Image, Etc, Because The Painting Has A Life Of Its Own. I Try To Let It Come Through. It Is Only When I Lose Contact With The Painting That The Result Is A Mess. Otherwise There Is Pure Harmony, An Easy Give And Take, And The Painting Comes Out Well.

The Secret Of Success Is… To Be Fully Awake To Everything About You.

Modern Art To Me Is Nothing More Than The Expression Of Contemporary Aims Of The Age We’re Living In. All Cultures Have Had Means And Techniques Of Expressing Their Immediate Aims – The Chinese, The Renaissance, All Cultures. The Thing That Interests Me Is That Today Painters Do Not Have To Go To A Subject Matter Outside Of Themselves. Most Modern Painters Work From A Different Source, They Work From Within.

A Man's Life Is His Work; His Work Is His Life.
