The painting has a life of its own

A canvas is an arena in which to act.

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

All cultures have had means and techniques of expressing their immediate aims - the Chinese, the Renaissance, all cultures. The thing that interests me is that today painters do not have to go to a subject matter outside of themselves.

Love is friendship set to music.

He drove his kind of realism at me so hard I bounced right into nonobjective painting.

Modern art to me is nothing more than the expression of contemporary aims of the age that we're living in.
