Many Of Those Who Are

Small Pictures Since The Renaissance Are Like Novels; Large Pictures Are Like Dramas In Which One Participates In A Direct Way.

It Is A Widely Accepted Notion Among Painters That It Does Not Matter What One Paints As Long As It Is Well Painted. This Is The Essence Of Academicism.

Pictures Must Be Miraculous: The Instant One Is Completed, The Intimacy Between The Creation And The Creator Is Ended.

You Think My Paintings Are Calm, Like Windows In Some Cathedral? You Should Look Again. I'm The Most Violent Of All The American Painters. Behind Those Colours There Hides The Final Cataclysm.

And Last, It May Be Worthwhile Trying To Hang Something Beyond The Partial Wall Because Some Of The Pictures Do Very Well In A Confined Space.
