Collage Is The Twentieth Century's Greatest Innovation

I Started With Straight, Basic, Symbolic Structures. My Problem Now Is The Opposite; As I Get Older, I Try To Make My Paintings More Contrapuntal, Richer.

I Feel Most Real To Myself In The Studio.

It May Be That The Deep Necessity Of Art Is The Examination Of Individual's And Society's Self-deception.

I Almost Never Start With An Image. I Start With A Painting Idea, An Impulse, Usually Derived From My Own World.

Nothing As Drastic An Innovation As Abstract Art Could Have Come In To Existence, Save As The Consequence Of A Most Profound, Relentless, Unquenchable Need. The Need Is For Felt Experience - Intense, Immediate, Direct, Subtle, Unified, Warm, Vivid, Rhythmic.
