I Don't Paint To Live,

Whatever An Artist's Personal Feelings Are, As Soon As An Artist Fills A Certain Area On The Canvas Or Circumscribes It, He Becomes Historical. He Acts From Or Upon Other Artists.

I Feel Sometimes An American Artist Must Feel, Like A Baseball Player Or Something - A Member Of A Team Writing American History.

Not Even For A Million Dollars Would I Paint A Tree.

In Art, One Idea Is As Good As Another. If One Takes The Idea Of Trembling, For Instance, All Of A Sudden Most Art Starts To Tremble. Michelangelo Starts To Tremble. El Greco Starts To Tremble. All The Impressionists Start To Tremble.

Style Is A Fraud. I Always Felt The Greeks Were Hiding Behind Their Columns.
