thinking painting should
I think a painting should include more experience than simply intended statement.
art children thinking
In the place where I was a child, there were no artists and there was no art, so I really didn't know what that meant. I think I thought it meant that I would be in a situation different than the one that I was in.
space manipulation painting
Most of the power of painting comes through the manipulation of space... but I don't understand that.
thinking way one-thing
Everybody is of course free to interpret the work in his own way., I think seeing a picture is one thing and interpreting it is another.
ideas may painting
There may or may not be an idea, and the meaning may just be that the painting exists.
artist favorite-artist fields
Merce is my favorite artist in any field,
judging personality world
I’m interested in things which suggest the world rather than express the personality... The most conventional thing, the most ordinary - it seems to me that those things can be dealt with without having to judge them; they seem to me to exist as clear facts, not involving aesthetic hierarchy.
mean done sometimes
I have meant what I have done. Or I have often meant what I have done. Or I have sometimes meant what I have done. Or I have tried to mean what I was doing.
