The modern artist... is working and expressing an inner world - in other words - expressing the energy, the motion, and other inner forces.
From Jackson Pollock
When I'm painting, I'm not aware of what I'm doing. It's only after a get acquainted period that I see what I've been about. I've no fears about making changes for the painting has a life of its own.
It doesn't make much difference how the paint is put on as long as something has been said. Technique is just a means of arriving at a statement.
I'm very representational some of the time, and a little all of the time. But when you're painting out of your unconscious, figures are bound to emerge.
I hardly ever stretch the canvas before painting.
New needs need new techniques. And the modern artists have found new ways and new means of making their statements... the modern painter cannot express this age, the airplane, the atom bomb, the radio, in the old forms of the Renaissance or of any other past culture.
Painting is self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is.
The painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through.
I continue to get further away from the usual painter's tools such as easel, palette, brushes, etc.
When I am in my painting, I'm not aware of what I'm doing.
