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.

I am doubtful of any talent, so whatever I choose to be, will be accomplished only by long study and work

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

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.

Every good painter paints what he is.

Today painters do not have to go to a subject matter outside of themselves. Most modern painters work from a different source. They work from within.
