I don't work from drawings. I don't make sketches and drawings and color sketches into a final painting.

I hardly ever stretch the canvas before painting.

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.

The modern artist... is working and expressing an inner world - in other words - expressing the energy, the motion, and other inner forces.

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