My Goal Is That Love

Pop Art Is The American Dream, Optimistic, Generous, And Naive!

I've Always Been Fascinated By Numbers. Before I Was Seventeen Years Old, I Had Lived In Twenty-one Different Houses. In My Mind, Each Of Those Houses Had A Number.

Pop Is Everything Art Hasn't Been For The Last Two Decades...it Springs Newborn Out Of A Boredom With The Finality And Over-saturation Of Abstract-expressionism, Which, By Its Own Esthetic Logic, Is The End Of Art, The Glorious Pinnacle Of The Long Pyramidal Creative Process. Stifled By This Rarefied Atmosphere, Some Young Painters Turn Back To Some Less Exalted Things Like Coca-cola, Ice-cream Sodas, Big Hamburgers, Super-markets And 'eat' Signs. They Are Eye-hungry; They Pop.

Love Is A Dangerous Commodity-fraught With Peril.

I Think Of My Peace Paintings As One Long Poem, With Each Painting Being A Single Stanza.
