Abstract Expressionism Was The First

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.

To Pick Up A Cigarette Wrapper Or Wine Label Or An Old Letter Or The End Of A Carton Is My Way Of Dealing With Those Things That Do Not Originate In Me, In My I.

Every Picture One Paints Involves Not Painting Others.

A Subject Emerges From An Interaction Between My Self, My I, And My Medium.

Wherever Art Appears, Life Disappears.
