The Abstractness Of Modern Art Has To

The 'pure' Red Of Which Certain Abstractionists Speak Does Not Exist. Any Red Is Rooted In Blood, Glass, Wine, Hunters' Caps And A Thousand Other Concrete Phenomena. Otherwise We Would Have No Feeling Toward Red And Its Relations.

In The End I Realize That Whatever Meaning That Picture Has Is The Accumulated Meaning Of Ten Thousand Brushstrokes, Each One Being Decided As It Was Painted.

I Almost Never Start With An Image. I Start With A Painting Idea, An Impulse, Usually Derived From My Own World.

One Of The Most Striking Aspects Of Abstract Art's Appearance Is Her Nakedness, An Art Stripped Bare.

For A Painter As Abstract As Myself, The Collages Offer A Way Of Incorporating Bits Of The Everyday World Into Pictures.
