An Artist Is Someone Who Makes Art Too. He Did Not Invent It. How It Started — "to Hell With It." It Is Obvious That It Has No Progress. The Idea Of Space Is Given Him To Change If He Can. The Subject Matter In The Abstract Is Space. He Fills It With An Attitude. The Attitude Never Comes From Himself Alone.
