My goal... not to go back to Rembrandt... but to bring the great tradition and whatever is great about it, up to date.
I wish there was a painter who could paint as well as Ted Williams could hit.
Most artists like to think of themselves as rugged individualists, as independent characters.
I have never learned to draw a hand well enough, so why should I stop trying now?
Impulses are hard to come by these days.
I am primarily concerned with the condition of man.
