Even An Abstract Form Has To Have

I'm Not Interested In 'abstracting' Or Taking Things Out Or Reducing Painting To Design, Form, Line, And Color. I Paint This Way Because I Can Keep Putting More Things In It - Drama, Anger, Pain, Love, A Figure, A Horse, My Ideas About Space. Through Your Eyes It Again Becomes An Emotion Or Idea.

In Art One Idea Is As Good As Another.

The 'women' Had To Do With The Female Painted Through All Ages, All Those Idols, And Maybe I Was Stuck To A Certain Extent; I Couldn't Go On. It Did One Thing For Me: It Eliminated Composition, Arrangement, Relationships, Light - All This Silly Talk About Line, Colour And Form - Because That Was The Thing I Wanted To Get Hold Of.

Art Should Not Have To Be A Certain Way.

The Attitude That Nature Is Chaotic And That The Artist Puts Order Into It Is A Very Absurd Point Of View, I Think. All That We Can Hope For Is To Put Some Order Into Ourselves.
