A Picture Ought To Be Looked At

I Have No Ideas About What The Paintings Imply About The World. I Don't Think That's A Painter's Business. He Just Paints Paintings Without A Conscious Reason.

Sometimes I See It And Then Paint It. Other Times I Paint It And Then See It. Both Are Impure Situations, And I Prefer Neither. At Every Point In Nature There Is Something To See. My Work Contains Similar Possibilities For The Changing Focus Of The Eye.

To Me, Self-description Is A Calamity.

Every Artist Feels Alone And Isolated, Friends Are Very Important In Terms Of All Sorts Of Definitions Of Oneself. They Tell You What You Are And What They Are Aside From The Intellectual Aspects.

Donald Judd Spoke Of A 'neutral' Surface, But What Is Meant? Neutrality Must Involve Some Relationship (to Other Ways Of Painting, Thinking?) He Would Have To Include These In His Work To Establish The Neutrality Of That Surface. He Also Used 'non' Or 'not' - Expressive - This Is An Early Problem - A Negative Solution Or - Expression Of New Sense - Which Can Help One Into - What One Has Not Known. 'neutral' Expresses An Intention.
