I Think A Painting Is More Like

There Was Something About The Self-confession And Self-confusion Of Abstract Expressionism - As Though The Man And The Work Were The Same - That Personally Always Put Me Off Because At That Time My Focus Was In The Opposite Direction.

I Had Been Working Purely Abstractly For So Long, It Was Important For Me To See Whether I Was Working Abstractly Because I Couldn't Work Any Other Way, Or Whether I Was Doing It Out Of Choice.

And All Of This, All These Physical Aspects Of Painting At That Time Excited Me Very Much. You Could Do A Picture In Just Black And White. I Mean All The Things, Whether You're Soliciting Permission Or Not, Do Give You Permission

I Always Have A Good Reason For Taking Something Out But I Never Have One For Putting Something In. And I Don't Want To, Because That Means That The Picture Is Being Painted Predigested.

Success Is A Worn Down Pencil.
