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.

Every good painter paints what he is.

My painting does not come from the easel.

The painting has a life of its own

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

I hardly ever stretch the canvas before painting.

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