I Want To Emphasize The Idea Of

Painting Cannot Be The Only Activity Of A Mature Artist.

The More An Artist Works The More There Is To Do.

There Is A Black Which Is Old And A Black Which Is Fresh. Lustrous Black And Dull Black, Black In Sunlight And Black In Shadow.

I Like The Idea Of The Museum World And The University-academic Situation Where Artists Talk To Each Other Or Where Artists Or Art Students Study With Artists.

I Taught A Lot Of Art History, Especially Chinese, Japanese, And Indian. But The Painting Classes Came Back. The Nudes Came Back. Not So Much The Still Lifes. So Now Our Department Is The Worst Department, Partly Because It Has The Worst Facilities.
