The people that weep before my paintings are having the same religious experience that I had when I painted it.

There is no such thing as good painting about nothing.

The artist invites the spectator to take a journey within the realm of the canvas... Without taking the journey, the spectator has really missed the essential experience of the picture.

And last, it may be worthwhile trying to hang something beyond the partial wall because some of the pictures do very well in a confined space.

A painting is not a picture of an experience, but is the experience.

The most interesting painting is one that expresses more of what one thinks than of what one sees

We favor the simple expression of the complex thought. We are for the large shape because it has the impact of the unequivocal. We wish to reassert the picture plane. We are for flat forms because they destroy illusion and reveal truth.
