It [abstract art] should be enjoyed just as music is enjoyed after a while you may like it or you may not.

It doesn't make much difference how the paint is put on as long as something has been said. Technique is just a means of arriving at a statement.

Abstract painting is abstract. It confronts you. There was a reviewer a while back who wrote that my pictures didn't have any beginning or any end. He didn't mean it as a compliment, but it was.

The modern artist is working with space and time, and expressing his feelings rather than illustrating.

A canvas is an arena in which to act.
