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

I will say without reservations that from my point of view there can be no abstractions. Any shape or area that has not the pulsating concreteness of real flesh and bones, its vulnerability to pleasure or pain is nothing at all. Any picture that does not provide the environment in which the breath of life can be drawn does not interest me.

Silence is so accurate.

The abstract artist has given material existence to many unseen worlds and tempi.

If you are moved only by the color relationships, then you miss the point.

My art is not abstract, it lives and breathes

The progression of a painter’s work…will be toward clarity; toward the elimination of all obstacles between the painter and the idea, and between the idea and the observer…to achieve this clarity is, inevitably, to be understood.
