Painting Cannot Be The Only Activity Of

Art Is Art. Everything Else Is Everything Else.

Painting Cannot Be The Only Activity Of A Mature Artist.

I Taught A Lot Of Art History, Especially Chinese, Japanese, And Indian. But The Painting Classes Came Back. The Nudes Came Back. Not So Much The Still Lifes. So Now Our Department Is The Worst Department, Partly Because It Has The Worst Facilities.

As An Artist I Would Like To Eliminate The Symbolic Pretty Much, For Black Is Interesting Not As A Color But As A Non-color And As The Absence Of Color.
