I love pop culture. I love gossiping about all the different stars.
Drawing is feeling. Color is an act of reason.
Draw your pleasure, paint your pleasure, and express your pleasure strongly.
I am just beginning to understand what it is to paint. A painter should have two lives, one in which to learn, and one in which to practice his art.
You cannot possibly invent painting all by yourself.
The precision of naming takes away from the uniqueness of seeing.
What attracted me was less art itself than the artist’s life and all that it meant for me: the idea of creativity and freedom of expression and action. I had been attracted to painting and drawing for a long time, but it was not an irresistible passion; what I wanted, at all costs, was to escape the monotony of life.
I could never be afraid of you.
I'm thinking of people in rural Japan and China, where McDonald's hasn't yet arrived. These are the thinnest, healthiest, longest-lived people with the least risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
Is art really the priesthood that demands the pure in heart who belong to it wholly?
Each of us is leading a difficult life, and when we meet people we are seeing only a tiny part of the thinnest veneer of their complex, troubled existences. To practise anything other than kindness towards them, to treat them in any way save generously, is to quietly deny their humanity.
