Art Never Seems To Make Me Peaceful

If You're An Artist, The Problem Is To Make A Picture Work Whether You Are Happy Or Not.

If You Pick Up Some Paint With Your Brush And Make Somebody's Nose With It, This Is Rather Ridiculous When You Think Of It, Theoretically Or Philosophically. It's Really Absurd To Make An Image, Like A Human Image, With Paint, Today.

The Word 'abstract' Comes From The Light Tower Of The Philosophers. One Of Their Spotlights That They Have Particularly Focused On 'art'. [abstraction Was] Not So Much What You Could Paint But Rather What You Could Not Paint. You Could Not Paint A House Or A Tree Or A Mountain. It Was Then That Subject Matter Came Into Existence As Something You Ought Not Have.

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.

I Might Work On A Painting For A Month, But It Has Too Look Like I Painted It In A Minute.
