Painting Is Self-discovery. Every Good Artist Paints

Technique Is Just A Means Of Arriving At A Statement.

When I Say Artist I Mean The Man Who Is Building Things - Creating Molding The Earth - Whether It Be The Plains Of The West - Or The Iron Ore Of Penn. It's All A Big Game Of Construction - Some With A Brush - Some With A Shovel - Some Choose A Pen.

Today Painters Do Not Have To Go To A Subject Matter Outside Of Themselves. Most Modern Painters Work From A Different Source. They Work From Within.

The Modern Artist Is Living In A Mechanical Age And We Have A Mechanical Means Of Representing Objects In Nature Such As The Camera And Photograph. The Modern Artist, It Seems To Me, Is Working And Expressing An Inner World - In Other Words - Expressing The Energy , The Motion And The Other Inner Forces ... The Modern Artist Is Working With Space And Time , And Expressing His Feelings Rather Than Illustrating.

A Canvas Is An Arena In Which To Act.
