Today Painters Do Not Have To Go

I've Been Thinking Of Death A Lot, And I Am Amazed By Its Inevitability, Frightened, As We All Are, Of The Totally Unknown, And Yet Feel A Long Sleep Is Somehow Earned By Those Of Us Who Live On The Edge.

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 The Other Inner Forces ... The Modern Artist Is Working With Space And Time , And Expressing His Feelings Rather Than Illustrating.

Painting Is No Problem. The Problem Is What To Do When You're Not Painting.

Every Good Painter Paints What He Is.

When I Am In My Painting, I'm Not Aware Of What I'm Doing.
