Very quickly a painting is turned into a facsimile of itself when one becomes so familiar with with it that one recognizes it without looking at it.
From Robert Rauschenberg
There was a whole language that I could never make function for myself in relationship to painting and that was attitudes like tortured, struggle, pain.
The only thing that I could get with chance, and I never was able to use it, was that I would end up with something quite geometric or the spirit that I was interested in, indulging in, was gone.
Pollock also... wanted one to be wrapped in the painting.
Oracle was I had started it I guess two and a half years ago, maybe even longer than that, closer to three.
One can see that a canvas is six feet by eight feet, say, quite accurately. But you can spend two minutes and think it's five, or thirty seconds and it's just a different bed for activities there.
If you don't have trouble paying the rent, you have trouble doing something else; one needs just a certain amount of trouble.
I'm sure we don't read old paintings the way they were intended.
I'm not so facile that I can accomplish or find out what I want to know or explore enough of the possibilities and a way of making a painting, say, in just one painting or two paintings.
I wouldn't use the same color in a picture in more than one place.
