In The Brush Doing What

I Started With Straight, Basic, Symbolic Structures. My Problem Now Is The Opposite; As I Get Older, I Try To Make My Paintings More Contrapuntal, Richer.

I Never Had The... Common Anxiety As To Whether Abstract Painting Had A Given 'meaning.

In The End I Realize That Whatever Meaning That Picture Has Is The Accumulated Meaning Of Ten Thousand Brushstrokes, Each One Being Decided As It Was Painted.

In A Way, Painting Is Like Wine: It Is As Old, As Simple, As Primitive And As Varied. Like Wine, It Is A Very Specific Means Of Expression, With A Limited Vocabulary, But Vast In Its Expressive Potential.

Wherever Art Appears, Life Disappears.
