The strangeness will wear off and I think we will discover the deeper meanings in modern art.
The painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through.
The modern artist... is working and expressing an inner world - in other words - expressing the energy, the motion, and other inner forces.
The modern artist is working with space and time, and expressing his feelings rather than illustrating.
Painting is self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is.
On the floor I am more at ease. I feel nearer, more part of the painting, since this way I can walk around it, work from the four sides and literally be in the painting.
My paintings do not have a center, but depend on the same amount of interest throughout.
When I say artist I mean the man who is building things - creating molding the earth - whether it be the plains of the west - or the iron ore of Penn. It's all a big game of construction - some with a brush - some with a shovel - some choose a pen.
