With artists of my own generation there was at first no group identity - and never a clique.
I've also been willing to share any help that I could give to any other artist.
In the '50s Morris Louis and I were not known, David Smith and Helen Frankenthaler were not much known.
I think of painting without subject matter as music without words.
For me context is the key - from that comes the understanding of everything.
As time goes on, I realize more and more that, beginning in the early 30's, David Smith began setting the precedent for what was to come later for many of us.
