Not Even For A Million

Even An Abstract Form Has To Have A Likeness.

The 'women' Had To Do With The Female Painted Through All Ages, All Those Idols, And Maybe I Was Stuck To A Certain Extent; I Couldn't Go On. It Did One Thing For Me: It Eliminated Composition, Arrangement, Relationships, Light - All This Silly Talk About Line, Colour And Form - Because That Was The Thing I Wanted To Get Hold Of.

Style Is A Fraud. I Always Felt The Greeks Were Hiding Behind Their Columns.

If I Stretch My Arms And Wonder Where My Fingers Are - That Is All The Space I Need As A Painter.

Art Never Seems To Make Me Peaceful Or Pure. I Always Seem To Be Wrapped In The Melodrama Of Vulgarity. I Do Not Think... Of Art As A Situation Of Comfort.
