The Minimalists Are Idealist. They

What I Say Is That We're Capable Of A Transcendent Response, And I Think It Makes Us Happy. And I Do Think Beauty Produces A Transcendent Response.

There's Nobody Living Who Couldn't Stand All Afternoon In Front Of A Waterfall .... Anyone Who Can Sit On A Stone In A Field Awhile Can See My Painting. Nature Is Like Parting A Curtain, You Go Into It .... As You Would Cross An Empty Beach To Look At The Ocean.

The Minimalists Are Idealist. They Want To Minimise Themselves In Favour Of The Ideal. But I Just Can't. You See, My Paintings Are Not Cool. ... I'm Very Careful Not To Have Ideas, Because They're Inaccurate.

I Once Taught Art To Adults In A Night Course. I Had A Woman Who Painted Her Back Yard, And She Said It Was The First Time She Had Ever Really Looked At It. I Think Everyone Sees Beauty. Art Is A Way To Respond

Beauty And Happiness And Life Are All The Same And They Are Pervasive, Unattached And Abstract And They Are Our Only Concern. They Are Immeasurable, Completely Lacking In Substance. They Are Perfect And Sublime. This Is The Subject Matter Of Art.
