Without Monsters And Gods, Art Cannot Enact

A Painting Is Not A Picture Of An Experience, But Is The Experience.

I Also Hang The Pictures Low Rather Than High, And Particularly In The Case Of The Largest Ones, Often As Close To The Floor As Is Feasible, For That Is The Way They Are Painted.

The Picture Must Be... A Revelation, An Unexpected And Unprecedented Resolution Of An Eternally Familiar Need.

Pictures Must Be Miraculous: The Instant One Is Completed, The Intimacy Between The Creation And The Creator Is Ended.

A Picture Lives By Companionship, Expanding And Quickening In The Eyes Of The Sensitive Observer. It Dies By The Same Token. It Is Therefore Risky To Send It Out Into The World. How Often It Must Be Impaired By The Eyes Of The Unfeeling And The Cruelty Of The Impotent.
