It Is The Only Point Of Getting

What Do I Ask Of A Painting? I Ask It To Astonish, Disturb, Seduce, Convince.

Everything Is Autobiographical And Everything Is A Portrait.

The Painter Makes Real To Others His Innermost Feelings About All That He Cares For. A Secret Becomes Known To Everyone Who Views The Picture Through The Intensity With Which It Is Felt.

The Character Of The Artist Doesn't Enter Into The Nature Of The Art. Eliot Said That Art Is The Escape From Personality, Which I Think Is Right. We Know That Velázquez Embezzled Money From The Spanish Court And Wanted Power And So On, But You Can't See This In His Art.

I Use The Gallery As If It Were A Doctor. I Come For Ideas And Help - To Look At Situations Within Painting, Rather Than Paintings.
