Today Painters Do Not Have

I Don't Use The Accident - 'cause I Deny The Accident

Painting Is Self-discovery. Every Good Artist Paints What He Is.

The Modern Artist Is Working With Space And Time, And Expressing His Feelings Rather Than Illustrating.

Today Painters Do Not Have To Go To A Subject Matter Outside Of Themselves. Most Modern Painters Work From A Different Source. They Work From Within.

With Experience It Seems To Be Possible To Control The Flow Of Paint, To A Great Extent, And I Don't Use - I Don't Use The Accident - 'cause I Deny The Accident... It's Quite Different From Working, Say, From A Still Life Where You Set Up Objects And Work Directly From Them. I Do Have A General Notion Of What I'm About And What The Results Will Be. I Approach Painting In The Same Sense As One Approaches Drawing, That Is, It's Direct.
