Yes, Linseed Oil. I Used To Use

The Idea (for The Painting 'room In New York', 1932, Ed.) Had Been In My Mind A Long Time Before I Painted It. It Was Suggested By Glimpses Of Lighted Interiors Seen As I Walked Along City Streets At Night, Probably Near The District Where I Live (washington Square, New York, Fh) Although It's No Particular Street Or House, But Is Really A Synthesis Of Many Impressions.

To Me The Most Important Thing Is The Sense Of Going On. You Know How Beautiful Things Are When You're Traveling.

If I Had The Energy, I Would Have Done It All Over The County.

I Find In Working Always The Disturbing Intrusion Of Elements Not A Part Of My Most Interested Vision, And The Inevitable Obliteration And Replacement Of This Vision By The Work Itself As It Proceeds.

I Believe That The Great Painters With Their Intellect As Master Have Attempted To Force This Unwilling Medium Of Paint And Canvas Into A Record Of Their Emotions.
