There Is No Such Thing

The Fact That People Break Down And Cry When Confronted With My Pictures Shows That I Can Communicate Those Basic Human Emotions.. The People Who Weep Before My Pictures Are Having The Same Religious Experience I Had When Painting Them. And If You Say You Are Moved Only By Their Color Relationships Then You Miss The Point.

We Favor The Simple Expression Of The Complex Thought. We Are For The Large Shape Because It Has The Impact Of The Unequivocal. We Wish To Reassert The Picture Plane. We Are For Flat Forms Because They Destroy Illusion And Reveal Truth.

(i Am) Dealing Not With The Particular Anecdote, But Rather With The Spirit Of Myth, Which Is Generic To All Myths At All Times.

We Are Concerned With Similar States Of Consciousness And Relationship To The World.. ..if Previous Abstractions Paralleled The Scientific And Objective Preoccupations Of Our Times, Ours Are Finding A Pictoral Equivalent For Man's New Knowledge And Consciousness Of His More Complex Inner Self.

The Reason For My Painting Large Canvases Is That I Want To Be Intimate And Human.
