every good artist paints what he is

Technique is just a means of arriving at a statement.

It [abstract art] should be enjoyed just as music is enjoyed after a while you may like it or you may not.

Modern art to me is nothing more than the expression of contemporary aims of the age we’re living in All cultures have had means and techniques of expressing their immediate aims – the Chinese, the Renaissance, all cultures. The thing that interests me is that 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.
