Cubism is an anatomical chart of a way of seeing external objects. But I want to confuse the meaning of the act of looking.

There was very little art in my childhood. I was raised in South Carolina; I wasn't aware of any art in South Carolina. There was a minor museum in Charleston, which had nothing of interest in it. It showed local artists, paintings of birds.

Art is either a complaint or appeasement.

When something is new to us, we treat it as an experience. We feel that our senses are awake and clear. We are alive.

I never wish for critics.
