Art and architecture - all the arts - do not have to exist in isolation.

I think most of the art now is involved with a denial of any kind of absolute morality, or general morality.

Any combining, mixing, adding, diluting, exploiting, vulgarizing, or popularizing of abstract art deprives art of its essence and depraves the artist's artistic consciousness. Art is free, but it is not a free-for-all.

Most art is fragile and some should be placed and never moved away.

The older painting - well, it does have an effect all at once, I suppose, but it's of a lesser intensity than a lot of the American work in the last ten or fifteen years.

You’re getting rid of the things that people used to think were essential to art. But that reduction is only incidental. I object to the whole reduction idea…if my work is reductionist it’s because it doesn’t have the elements that people thought should be there. But it has other elements I like.

And that Newman wasn't, and yet to me Pollock is just as radical and unlike Expressionism as Newman.
