I Do Not Paint Nature.

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.

If People Would Just Look At The Paintings, I Don't Think They Would Have Any Trouble Enjoying Them. It's Like Looking At A Bed Of Flowers, You Don't Tear Your Hair Out Over What It Means.

Modern Art To Me Is Nothing More Than The Expression Of Contemporary Aims Of The Age We’re Living In. All Cultures Have Had Means And Techniques Of Expressing Their Immediate Aims – The Chinese, The Renaissance, All Cultures. The Thing That Interests Me Is That Today Painters Do Not Have To Go To A Subject Matter Outside Of Themselves. Most Modern Painters Work From A Different Source, They Work From Within.

In Response To The Question, 'how Do You Know When You're Finished?' Pollock Replied, 'how Do You Know When You're Finished Making Love?

It Seems To Me That The Modern Painter Cannot Express This Age, The Airplane, The Atom Bomb, The Radio, In The Old Forms Of The Renaissance Or Of Any Other Past Culture. Each Age Find Its Own Technique.
