My Aim In Painting Has Always Been

The Only Real Influence I've Ever Had Was Myself.

In Its Most Limited Sense, Modern, Art Would Seem To Concern Itself Only With The Technical Innovations Of The Period.

Great Art Is The Outward Expression Of An Inner Life In The Artist, And This Inner Life Will Result In His Personal Vision Of The World.

The Trend In Some Of The Contemporary Movements In Art, But By No Means All, Seems To Deny This Ideal And To Me Appears To Lead To A Purely Decorative Conception Of Painting.

The Only Quality That Endures In Art Is A Personal Vision Of The World. Methods Are Transient: Personality Is Enduring.
