People Have Always Frightened And Bored Me

When I Say Artist I Mean The Man Who Is Building Things - Creating Molding The Earth - Whether It Be The Plains Of The West - Or The Iron Ore Of Penn. It's All A Big Game Of Construction - Some With A Brush - Some With A Shovel - Some Choose A Pen.

Painting Is A State Of Being.

The Modern Artist Is Living In A Mechanical Age And We Have A Mechanical Means Of Representing Objects In Nature Such As The Camera And Photograph. The Modern Artist, It Seems To Me, Is Working And Expressing An Inner World - In Other Words - Expressing The Energy, The Motion, And Other Inner Forces.

If People Would Just Look At The Paintings, I Don't Think They Would Have Any Trouble Enjoying Them. It's Like Looking At A Bed Of Flowers, You Don't Tear Your Hair Out Over What It Means.

I Can Control The Flow Of Paint: There Is No Accident.
