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.

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

I Don't Paint To Live, I Live To Paint.
