I Believe All Painting And Art Should

The Spot Paintings, The Spin Paintings, They're All A Mechanical Way To Avoid The Actual Guy In A Room, Myself, With A Blank Canvas.

For Me, Art Is Always A Kind Of Theater. When I Started The Spot Paintings I Made Them As An Endless Series. But I Was Never Serious About It Being An Endless Series. It Was Just An Implied Endless Series. The Theater Means You Just Have To Make It Look Good For That Moment In The Spotlight.

I Think An Ashtray Is The Most Fantastically Real Thing.

But The Answer To How To Live Is To Stop Thinking About It. And Just To Live. But You're Doing That Anyway. However You Intellectualise It, You Still Just Live.

Great Art - Or Good Art - Is When You Look At It, Experience It And It Stays In Your Mind. I Don't Think Conceptual Art And Traditional Art Are All That Different.
