Art is an experience, not an object.
To end up with a canvas that is no less beautiful than the empty canvas is to begin with.
Art is much less important than life, but what a poor life without it.
Wherever art appears, life disappears.
Nothing as drastic an innovation as abstract art could have come in to existence, save as the consequence of a most profound, relentless, unquenchable need. The need is for felt experience - intense, immediate, direct, subtle, unified, warm, vivid, rhythmic.
In the brush doing what it is doing, it will stumble on what one could not do by oneself.
