Even An Abstract Form Has To Have

The Point They (lissitzky, Rodchenko, Tatlin, Gabo, The Neo-plasticists, And So On) All Had In Common Was To Be Inside And Outside At The Same Time. For Me, To Be Inside And Outside Is To Be In An Unheated Studio With Broken Windows In The Winter, Or Taking A Nap On Somebody's Porch In The Summer.

The 'women' Had To Do With The Female Painted Through All Ages, All Those Idols, And Maybe I Was Stuck To A Certain Extent; I Couldn't Go On. It Did One Thing For Me: It Eliminated Composition, Arrangement, Relationships, Light - All This Silly Talk About Line, Colour And Form - Because That Was The Thing I Wanted To Get Hold Of.

What You Do When You Paint, You Take A Brush Full Of Paint, Get Paint On The Picture, And You Have Faith.

I Think I'm Painting A Picture Of Two Women But It May Turn Out To Be A Landscape.

Once, After Finishing A Picture, I Thought I Would Stop For Awhile, Take A Trip, Do Things-the Next Time I Thought Of This, I Found Five Years Had Gone By.
