When you make a painting, even abstract, there is always a sort of necessary filling-in.

In the 'Nude Descending a Staircase,' I wanted to create a static image of movement: movement is an abstraction, a deduction articulated within the painting, without our knowing if a real person is or isn't descending an equally real staircase.
Alchemy is a kind of philosophy: a kind of thinking that leads to a way of understanding.

A painting that doesn't shock isn't worth painting.
