You Have To Keep On The Very

Once, After Finishing A Picture, I Thought I Would Stop For Awhile, Take A Trip, Do Things-the Next Time I Thought Of This, I Found Five Years Had Gone By.

You Have To Keep On The Very Edge Of Something, All The Time, Or The Picture Dies.

In Art, One Idea Is As Good As Another. If One Takes The Idea Of Trembling, For Instance, All Of A Sudden Most Art Starts To Tremble. Michelangelo Starts To Tremble. El Greco Starts To Tremble. All The Impressionists Start To Tremble.

What You Do When You Paint, You Take A Brush Full Of Paint, Get Paint On The Picture, And You Have Faith.

I Paint The Way I Do Because I Can Keep On Putting More And More Things In - Like Drama, Pain, Anger, Love, A Figure, A Horse, My Ideas Of Space. It Doesn't Matter If It Differs From Mine, As Long As It Comes From The Painting, Which Has Its Own Integrity And Intensity.
