Painting Stems From A Sense

But When I Worked On A Painting I Would Do It From A Drawing But I Would Put Certain Things I Was Fairly Sure I Wanted In The Painting, And Then Collage On The Painting With Printed Dots Or Painted Paper Or Something Before I Really Committed It.

I Suppose I Would Still Prefer To Sit Under A Tree With A Picnic Basket Rather Than Under A Gas Pump, But Signs And Comic Strips Are Interesting As Subject Matter.

Pop Art Looks Out Into The World. It Doesnt Look Like A Painting Of Something, It Looks Like The Thing Itself.

Color Is Crucial In Painting, But It Is Very Hard To Talk About. There Is Almost Nothing You Can Say That Holds Up As A Generalization, Because It Depends On Too Many Factors: Size, Modulation, The Rest Of The Field, A Certain Consistency That Color Has With Forms, And The Statement You're Trying To Make.

But Usually I Begin Things Through A Drawing, So A Lot Of Things Are Worked Out In The Drawing. But Even Then, I Still Allow For And Want To Make Changes.
