It doesn't matter how the paint is put on, as long as something is said.
I do not paint nature. I am nature.
Modern art to me is nothing more than the expression of contemporary aims of the age that we're living in.
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.
Bums are the well-to-do of this day. They didn't have as far to fall.
The modern artist is working with space and time, and expressing his feelings rather than illustrating.
