A Man's Life Is His

On The Floor I Am More At Ease. I Feel Nearer, More Part Of The Painting, Since This Way I Can Walk Around It, Work From The Four Sides And Literally Be In The Painting.

A Man's Life Is His Work; His Work Is His Life.

With Experience It Seems To Be Possible To Control The Flow Of Paint, To A Great Extent, And I Don't Use - I Don't Use The Accident - 'cause I Deny The Accident... It's Quite Different From Working, Say, From A Still Life Where You Set Up Objects And Work Directly From Them. I Do Have A General Notion Of What I'm About And What The Results Will Be. I Approach Painting In The Same Sense As One Approaches Drawing, That Is, It's Direct.

As To What I Would Like To Be, It Is Difficult To Say. An Artist Of Some Kind. If Nothing Else I Shall Always Study The Arts.

Modern Art To Me Is Nothing More Than The Expression Of Contemporary Aims Of The Age That We're Living In.
