In the '50s Morris Louis and I were not known, David Smith and Helen Frankenthaler were not much known.
I've also been willing to share any help that I could give to any other artist.
I think of painting without subject matter as music without words.
Context begins with other artists - seniors and mentors.
Usually I throw away what I don't get right the first time.
With artists of my own generation there was at first no group identity - and never a clique.
