Without Monsters And Gods, Art Cannot Enact

We Assert That The Subject Is Crucial And Only That Subject Matter Is Valid Which Is Tragic And Timeless.

The Romantics Were Prompted To Seek Exotic Subjects And To Travel To Far Off Places. They Failed To Realize That, Though The Transcendental Must Involve The Strange And Unfamiliar, Not Everything Strange Or Unfamiliar Is Transcendental.

This World Of The Imagination Is Fancy-free And Violently Opposed To Common Sense.

The Picture Must Be... A Revelation, An Unexpected And Unprecedented Resolution Of An Eternally Familiar Need.

If You Are Only Moved By Color Relationships, You Are Missing The Point. I Am Interested In Expressing The Big Emotions - Tragedy, Ecstasy, Doom.
