I Tend To Like Things

Every Artist Feels Alone And Isolated, Friends Are Very Important In Terms Of All Sorts Of Definitions Of Oneself. They Tell You What You Are And What They Are Aside From The Intellectual Aspects.

In My Early Work, I Tried To Hide My Personality, My Psychological State, My Emotions. This Was Partly Due To My Feelings About Myself And Partly Due To My Feelings About Painting At The Time. I Sort Of Stuck To My Guns For A While But Eventually It Seemed Like A Losing Battle. Finally One Must Simply Drop The Reserve.

Whatever I Do Seems Artificial And False, To Me.

Everybody Is Of Course Free To Interpret The Work In His Own Way. I Think Seeing A Picture Is One Thing And Interpreting It Is Another.

As One Gets Older One Sees Many More Paths That Could Be Taken. Artists Sense Within Their Own Work That Kind Of Swelling Of Possibilities, Which May Seem A Freedom Or A Confusion.
