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

I use colors that have already been experienced through the light of day and through the state of mind of the total man. In other words, my colors are not colors that are laboratory tools which are isolated from all accidentals or impurities so that they have a specified identity or purity.

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.

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

This world of the imagination is fancy-free and violently opposed to common sense.

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

Look, it's my misery that I have to paint this kind of painting, it's your misery that you have to love it, and the price of the misery is thirteen hundred and fifty dollars.
