Collage Is The Twentieth Century's Greatest Innovation

Nothing As Drastic An Innovation As Abstract Art Could Have Come In To Existence, Save As The Consequence Of A Most Profound, Relentless, Unquenchable Need. The Need Is For Felt Experience - Intense, Immediate, Direct, Subtle, Unified, Warm, Vivid, Rhythmic.

Each Brushstroke Is A Decision.

The 'pure' Red Of Which Certain Abstractionists Speak Does Not Exist. Any Red Is Rooted In Blood, Glass, Wine, Hunters' Caps And A Thousand Other Concrete Phenomena. Otherwise We Would Have No Feeling Toward Red And Its Relations.

I Feel Most Real To Myself In The Studio.

It Is The Medium, Or The Specific Configuration Of The Medium, That We Call A Work Of Art That Brings Feeling Into Being.
