This Is A Portrait Of

I've Not Been Cursed With Talent, Which Could Be A Great Inhibitor.

There Was A Whole Language That I Could Never Make Function For Myself; It Revolved Around Words Like 'tortured', 'struggle'. 'pain'.. .i Could Never See These Qualities In Paint - I Could See Them In Life And Art That Illustrates Life. But I Could Not See Such Conflicts In The Materials And I Knew That It Had To Be In The Attitude Of The Painter.

It Is Neither Art For Art, Nor Art Against Art. I Am For Art, But For Art That Has Nothing To Do With Art. Art Has Everything To Do With Life, But It Has Nothing To Do With Art.

Success Is A Worn Down Pencil.

Painting Relates To Both Art And Life. Neither Can Be Made - I Try To Act In The Gap.
