The Enormous Pitfall Is Devotion To Oneself

When I First Made A Grid I Happened To Be Thinking Of The Innocence Of Trees And Then This Grid Came Into My Mind And I Thought It Represented Innocence, And I Still Do, And So I Painted It And Then I Was Satisfied. I Thought, This Is My Vision.

I Want To Emphasize The Fact That We All Have The Same Experience And The Same Concern, But The Artist Must Know Exactly What The Experience Is. He Must Pursue The Truth Relentlessly. Once He Sees This Fact His Feet Are On The Path. If You Want To Know The Truth You Will Know It. The Manipulation Of Materials In An Artwork Is A Result Of This State Of Mind. The Artist Works By Awareness Of His Own State Of Mind.

I Once Taught Art To Adults In A Night Course. I Had A Woman Who Painted Her Back Yard, And She Said It Was The First Time She Had Ever Really Looked At It. I Think Everyone Sees Beauty. Art Is A Way To Respond

Inspiration Is There All The Time. For Everyone Whose Mind Is Not Clouded Over With Thoughts Whether They Realize It Or Not.

I Paint With My Back To The World
