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.

I want to express my feelings rather than illustrate them.

The painter locks himself out of his own studio. And then has to break in like a thief.

A canvas is an arena in which to act.

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

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.

Art is coming face to face with yourself.
