Of All The Artists Who Emerged In

When You Come Up In The Art World, Whatevers In The Air, The Issues Of The Moment, End Up Becoming Part Of The Working Method Or Modus Operandi Of How You Think About Doing A Painting. And I Came Up At A Time When-actually Painting Was Dead When I Came Up. Sculpture Sort Of Ruled.

Sculpture Occupies Real Space Like We Do... You Walk Around It And Relate To It Almost As Another Person Or Another Object.

I Wanted To Translate From One Flat Surface To Another.in Fact, My Learning Disabilities Controlled A Lot Of Things. I Don't Recognize Faces, So I'm Sure It's What Drove Me To Portraits In The First Place.

I Did Some Pastels And I Did Other Pieces In Which There Was Just Basically One Color Per Square, And Then They Would Get Bigger And I Could Get 2 Or 3 Colors Into The Square, And Ultimately I Just Started Making Oil Paintings.

Painting Is A Lie. It's The Most Magic Of All Media, The Most Transcendent. It Makes Space Where There Is No Space.
