Im not really sure what social message my art carries, if any. And I dont really want it to carry one. Im not interested in the subject matter to try to teach society anything, or to try to better our world in any way.

I suppose I would still prefer to sit under a tree with a picnic basket rather than under a gas pump, but signs and comic strips are interesting as subject matter.

Painting stems from a sense of organisation, the sensed positions of contrasts. Not that it is about this.

I think that most people think painters are kind of ridiculous, you know?

Pop Art looks out into the world. It doesnt look like a painting of something, it looks like the thing itself.

Everybody knows that abstract art can be art, and most people know that they may not like it, even if they understand there's another purpose to it.

Color is crucial in painting, but it is very hard to talk about. There is almost nothing you can say that holds up as a generalization, because it depends on too many factors: size, modulation, the rest of the field, a certain consistency that color has with forms, and the statement you're trying to make.
