It [abstract Art] Should Be

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.

Most Of The Paint I Use Is A Liquid, Flowing Kind Of Paint. The Brushes I Use Are More A Sticks Rather Than Brushes – The Brush Doesn’t Touch The Surface On The Canvas, It’s Just Above [so] I Am Able To Be More Free And To Have Greater Freedom And Move About The Canvas, With Greater Ease.

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.

When I Am In My Painting, I'm Not Aware Of What I'm Doing.

Every Good Painter Paints What He Is.
