It took me 40 years to find out that painting is not sculpture.

The artist makes things concrete and gives them individuality.

When I judge art, I take my painting and put it next to a God made object like a tree or flower. If it clashes, it is not art.

I have not tried to reproduce nature; I have represented it.

Everything is about to disappear. You've got to hurry up if you still want to see things.

To paint is not to copy the object slavishly, it is to grasp a harmony among many relationships.

Painting is damned difficult - you always think you've got it, but you haven't.
