Pop Art Is Industrial Painting. I Think

Outside Is The World; It's There. Pop Art Looks Out Into The World.

You Know, As You Compose Music, You're Just Off In Your Own World. You Have No Idea Where Reality Is, So To Have An Idea Of What People Think Is Pretty Hard.

But Usually I Begin Things Through A Drawing, So A Lot Of Things Are Worked Out In The Drawing. But Even Then, I Still Allow For And Want To Make Changes.

The Big Tradition, I Think, Is Unity. And I Have That In Mind; And With That, You Know, You Could Break All The Traditions- All The Other So-called Rules, Because They Are Stylistic.. And Most Are Not True. As Long As The Marks Are Related To One Another, There Is Unity. Unity In The Work Itself Depends On Unity Of The Artist's Vision.

But When I Worked On A Painting I Would Do It From A Drawing But I Would Put Certain Things I Was Fairly Sure I Wanted In The Painting, And Then Collage On The Painting With Printed Dots Or Painted Paper Or Something Before I Really Committed It.
