gets time
As a person gets older, time gets more interesting. As a kid, you waste so much of it.
collages stick
I stick the collages on the wall and, if I still like them after a month or two, I make a painting.
avenue madison
I used to know Madison Avenue advertisers. I didn't like 'em. Bunch of jerks.
The very, very beginning is that my mother and father were aviators.
death fired knew wrote york
There was one reviewer from the 'New York Times,' I forget his name, who said I was 'death warmed over.' I wrote him back that I knew more about death than he did. The 'Times' fired him, put him in the cooking department!

I decided to make pictures of fragments, images that would spill off the canvas instead of recede into it like a medicine cabinet. I wanted to find images that were in a 'nether-nether-land': things that were a little out of style but hadn't reached the point of nostalgia.
I am not in yesterday; I am not in tomorrow. I am right now.
beautiful mean painting
It fascinates me to create beautiful paintings with the simplest means.
space ceilings painting
Whenever I got a new studio I made the largest possible painting, and since the ceiling was low, the painting became horizontal. As I changed studios and got larger spaces, I made bigger paintings.
feelings painting bigs
If you are close to it, a big painting is just a feeling around you, that's all.
way energy painting
In many ways my paintings are about energy — both in how they are created and the image itself.
