A Man's Life Is His Work; His

It Doesn't Matter How The Paint Is Put On, As Long As Something Is Said.

I Don't Use The Accident - 'cause I Deny The Accident

A Man's Life Is His Work; His Work Is His Life.

The Modern Artist Is Living In A Mechanical Age And We Have A Mechanical Means Of Representing Objects In Nature Such As The Camera And Photograph. The Modern Artist, It Seems To Me, Is Working And Expressing An Inner World - In Other Words - Expressing The Energy , The Motion And The Other Inner Forces ... The Modern Artist Is Working With Space And Time , And Expressing His Feelings Rather Than Illustrating.

With Experience It Seems To Be Possible To Control The Flow Of Paint, To A Great Extent, And I Don't Use - I Don't Use The Accident - 'cause I Deny The Accident... It's Quite Different From Working, Say, From A Still Life Where You Set Up Objects And Work Directly From Them. I Do Have A General Notion Of What I'm About And What The Results Will Be. I Approach Painting In The Same Sense As One Approaches Drawing, That Is, It's Direct.
