My goal... not to go back to Rembrandt... but to bring the great tradition and whatever is great about it, up to date.
Most artists like to think of themselves as rugged individualists, as independent characters.
I'm the little dog who goes the wrong way-under the hoop.
I am primarily concerned with the condition of man.
Impulses are hard to come by these days.
The satirical direction I have chosen is an indication of my disappointment in man, which is the opposite way of saying that I have high expectations for the human race.
