I don't paint nature. I am nature.
A canvas is an arena in which to act.
New needs need new techniques. And the modern artists have found new ways and new means of making their statements... the modern painter cannot express this age, the airplane, the atom bomb, the radio, in the old forms of the Renaissance or of any other past culture.
On the floor I am more at ease.
I hardly ever stretch the canvas before painting.
My concern is with the rhythms of nature I work inside out, like nature.
