My paintings do not have a center, but depend on the same amount of interest throughout.

The modern artist is living in a mechanical age and we have a mechanical means of representing objects in nature such as the camera and photograph. The modern artist, it seems to me, is working and expressing an inner world - in other words - expressing the energy, the motion, and other inner forces.

A method of painting is a natural growth out of a need. I want to express my feelings rather than illustrate them. Technique is just a means of arriving at a statement.

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

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

A canvas is an arena in which to act.
