Every Picture One Paints Involves Not Painting

For A Hundred Years, Modern Painters, Stubbornly And In The Face Of Incessant Hostility, Have Moved, Step By Step, Leaving Superb Monuments By The Wayside, Towards An Art Of Arrangement Whose Expressiveness Depends Less And Less Upon Its Elements Imitating The Objects Of The External World.

Abstract Expressionism Was The First American Art That Was Filled With Anger As Well As Beauty.

It's Possible To Paint A Monumental Picture That's Only 10 Inches Wide, If One Has A Sense Of Scale, Which Is Very Different From A Sense Of Size.

Abstract Art Is Uniquely Modern. It Is A Fundamentally Romantic Response To Modern Life - Rebellious, Individualistic, Unconventional, Sensitive, Irritable.

Each Brushstroke Is A Decision.
