It seems to me that 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. Each age find its own technique.

I don't use the accident - 'cause I deny the accident

The secret of success is… to be fully awake to everything about you.

My opinion is that new needs need new techniques. And the modern artists have found new ways and new means of making their statements.

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.

My painting does not come from the easel.

When I am painting I have a general notion as to what I am about. I can control the flow of paint: there is no accident.
