It May Be That The Deep Necessity

For A Hundred Years, Modern Painters, Stubbornly And In The Face Of Incessant Hostility, Have Moved, Step By Step, Leaving Superb Monuments By The Wayside, Towards An Art Of Arrangement Whose Expressiveness Depends Less And Less Upon Its Elements Imitating The Objects Of The External World.

The Problems Of Inventing A New Language Are Staggering. But What Else Can One Do If One Needs To Express One's Feeling Precisely?

In Printmaking, I Essentially Use The Same Process As In Painting With One Important Exception ... To Try, With Sensitivity To The Medium To Emphasize What Printing Can Do Best ... Better Than Say, Painting Or Collaging Or Watercolour Or Drawing Or Whatever ... Otherwise, The Artist Expresses The Same Vision In Graphics That He Does In His Other Work.

Each Brushstroke Is A Decision.

Without Ethical Consciousness, A Painter Is Only A Decorator.
