I'm Sure We Don't Read Old Paintings

My Art Is About Paying Attention - About The Extremely Dangerous Possibility That You Might Be Art.

Even At This Late Date, I Go Into My Studio, And I Think 'is This Going To Be It? Is It The End?' You See, Nearly Everything Terrorizes Me. When An Artist Loses That Terror, He's Through.

I Usually Work In A Direction Until I Know How To Do It, Then I Stop, At The Time That I Am Bored Or Understand - I Use Those Words Interchangeably - Another Appetite Has Formed.

It Is Neither Art For Art, Nor Art Against Art. I Am For Art, But For Art That Has Nothing To Do With Art. Art Has Everything To Do With Life, But It Has Nothing To Do With Art.

I Don't Like Masterpieces Having One-night Stands In Collectors' Homes Between Auctions.
