Passion lies between one mark and the next, and also within all of them.
I'm very envious of the few artists who are any good and still do portraits.
In the United States there has been a kind of a structure in the Modern art world. The New York School was nearly a coherent thing-for a minute.
A painting is finished when the subject comes back, when what has caused the painting to be made comes back as an object.
I am isolated as an artist, not as a person.
When I finish a painting, it usually looks as surprising to me as to anyone else.
