For A Painter As Abstract As Myself,

To Pick Up A Cigarette Wrapper Or Wine Label Or An Old Letter Or The End Of A Carton Is My Way Of Dealing With Those Things That Do Not Originate In Me, In My I.

One Of The Most Striking Aspects Of Abstract Art's Appearance Is Her Nakedness, An Art Stripped Bare.

It's Possible To Paint A Monumental Picture That's Only 10 Inches Wide, If One Has A Sense Of Scale, Which Is Very Different From A Sense Of Size.

Every Picture One Paints Involves Not Painting Others.

If You Give A Child Something Very Complex To Paint, Such As A Bouquet Of Flowers Or A Natural Landscape, If He Is Very Good, Eventually He Will Get Back - Like Cezanne - To The Essential Forms Of What He Sees.
