The Artist Should Once And Forever Emancipate

I Tried To Oppose The Academic To The Marketplace.

As An Artist I Would Like To Eliminate The Symbolic Pretty Much, For Black Is Interesting Not As A Color But As A Non-color And As The Absence Of Color.

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.

Painting Cannot Be The Only Activity Of A Mature Artist.

I Like The Idea Of The Museum World And The University-academic Situation Where Artists Talk To Each Other Or Where Artists Or Art Students Study With Artists.
