The Main Thing Is Not

The Main Thing Is Not To Be Dead.

In A Way, Painting Is Like Wine: It Is As Old, As Simple, As Primitive And As Varied. Like Wine, It Is A Very Specific Means Of Expression, With A Limited Vocabulary, But Vast In Its Expressive Potential.

I Have Been Continuously Aware That In Painting, I Am Always Dealing With... A Relational Structure. Which In Turn Makes Permission 'to Be Abstract' No Problem At All.

Every Picture One Paints Involves Not Painting Others.

Painting Is A Medium In Which The Mind Can Actualize Itself; It Is A Medium Of Thought. Thus Painting, Like Music, Tends To Become Its Own Content.
