My Paintings Are The Last Paintings One

The Job At Brooklyn Is Interesting Because Brooklyn Reflects What Happened To University Art Departments Everywhere. It Might Be The Worst Department Now, And Yet At One Point It Was The Best In The Country.

Now Almost Every Artist Outside Of New York Is Connected With Some School Or Some Museum School, And Even In New York The Majority Are. That's An Interesting Fact When You Take The Idea Of Making Money, Making A Living Selling Paintings. Only A Dozen Or Two Painters Do That.

I Want To Emphasize The Idea Of Black As Intellectuality And Conventionality.

If Some Student Came Up And Wanted To Know Where To Study Painting, You'd Want To Suggest Someplace, But There's No Place. I Wouldn't Know Where To Send A Student To Study.

Art Is Not The Spiritual Side Of Business.
