All Art Is An Abstraction

The Artist Works With A Concentration Of His Whole Personality, And The Conscious Part Of It Resolves Conflicts, Organized Memories, And Prevents Him From Trying To Walk In Two Directions At The Same Time.

A Sculptor Is A Person Obsessed With The Form And The Shape Of Things, And It's Not Just Ihe Shape Of Any One Thing, But The Shape Of Any Thing And Everything.

Discipline In Art Is A Fundamental Struggle To Understand Oneself, As Much As To Understand What One Is Drawing.

I Find In All The Artists That I Admire Most A Disturbing Element, A Distortion, Giving Evidence Of A Struggle . . . . In Great Art, This Conflict Is Hidden, It Is Unresolved. All That Is Bursting With Energy Is Disturbing - Not Perfect.

Talking About One's Work Releases The Energy And Tension To Do And Make.
