I am here to make you think. . . . I am not here to make pretty pictures!

(I am) dealing not with the particular anecdote, but rather with the Spirit of Myth, which is generic to all myths at all times.

I also hang the pictures low rather than high, and particularly in the case of the largest ones, often as close to the floor as is feasible, for that is the way they are painted.

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

We are concerned with similar states of consciousness and relationship to the world.. ..If previous abstractions paralleled the scientific and objective preoccupations of our times, ours are finding a pictoral equivalent for man's new knowledge and consciousness of his more complex inner self.

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

My art is not abstract, it lives and breathes
