People Have Always Frightened And Bored Me

Abstract Painting Is Abstract. It Confronts You.

With Experience It Seems To Be Possible To Control The Flow Of Paint, To A Great Extent, And I Don't Use - I Don't Use The Accident - 'cause I Deny The Accident... It's Quite Different From Working, Say, From A Still Life Where You Set Up Objects And Work Directly From Them. I Do Have A General Notion Of What I'm About And What The Results Will Be. I Approach Painting In The Same Sense As One Approaches Drawing, That Is, It's Direct.

A Man's Life Is His Work; His Work Is His Life.

The Painting Has A Life Of Its Own

I'm Very Representational Some Of The Time, And A Little All Of The Time. But When You're Painting Out Of Your Unconscious, Figures Are Bound To Emerge.
