Every Good Painter Paints What

Abstract Painting Is Abstract. It Confronts You. There Was A Reviewer A While Back Who Wrote That My Pictures Didn't Have Any Beginning Or Any End. He Didn't Mean It As A Compliment, But It Was.

I Can Control The Flow Of Paint: There Is No Accident.

I Do Not Paint Nature. I Am Nature.

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.

The Modern Artist... Is Working And Expressing An Inner World - In Other Words - Expressing The Energy, The Motion, And Other Inner Forces.
