"Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated.

"It doesn't make much difference how the paint is put on as long as something has been said. Technique is just a means of arriving at a statement."

"The painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through."
Life
"My paintings do not have a center, but depend on the same amount of interest throughout."

"He drove his kind of realism at me so hard I bounced right into nonobjective painting."
Painting
"I'm very representational some of the time, and a little all of the time. But when you're painting out of your unconscious, figures are bound to emerge."
Time
