My Painting Represents The Victory

I Want To Emphasize The Idea Of Black As Intellectuality And Conventionality.

There Is A Black Which Is Old And A Black Which Is Fresh. Lustrous Black And Dull Black, Black In Sunlight And Black In Shadow.

The Job At Brooklyn Is Interesting Because Brooklyn Reflects What Happened To University Art Departments Everywhere. It Might Be The Worst Department Now, And Yet At One Point It Was The Best In The Country.

Now Almost Every Artist Outside Of New York Is Connected With Some School Or Some Museum School, And Even In New York The Majority Are. That's An Interesting Fact When You Take The Idea Of Making Money, Making A Living Selling Paintings. Only A Dozen Or Two Painters Do That.

The Only And One Way To Say What Abstract Art Or Art-as-art Is, Is To Say What It Is Not.
