I haven't the slightest idea what art is, but to be a painter is something of which you have to prove.
Every paint-stroke takes you farther and farther away from your initial concept. And you have to be thankful for that.
Art means something very rare, an extraordinary achievement.
Painting is more important than art.
Art is not delivered like the morning paper; it has to be stolen from Mount Olympus.
Art is one of the dirtiest words in our language; it's mucked up with all kinds of meanings. There's the art of plumbing; there's the art of almost anything that you can say.
