Imitators? All Right! Disciples If You Like.

When You See What You Express Through Photography, You Realize All The Things That Can No Longer Be The Objectives Of Painting. Why Should An Artist Persist In Treating Subjects That Can Be Established So Clearly With The Lens Of A Camera?

...the Right To Free Expression Is Something One Seizes, Not Something One Is Given.... If It Does Exist, It Exists To Be Used Against The Established Order.... There Is Absolute Opposition Between The Artist And The State.

I Do Not Seek. I Find.

Something Sacred, That's It. We Ought To Be Able To Say That Such And Such A Painting Is As It Is, With Its Capacity For Power, Because It Is "touched By God."

To Arrive At Abstraction, It Is Always Necessary To Begin With A Concrete Reality.
