- Forms

Art doesn't transform. It just plain forms.
- Make

- Nov 07, 2020
But usually I begin things through a drawing, so a lot of things are worked out in the drawing. But even then, I still allow for and want to make changes.
- Drawing

- Nov 07, 2020
But when I worked on a painting I would do it from a drawing but I would put certain things I was fairly sure I wanted in the painting, and then collage on the painting with printed dots or painted paper or something before I really committed it.
- Look

I don't think that I'm over his influence but they probably don't look like Picassos; Picasso himself would probably have thrown up looking at my pictures.
- Drawing

- Nov 07, 2020
I kind of do the drawing with the painting in mind, but it's very hard to guess at a size or a color and all the colors around it and what it will really look like.
- Matter

I suppose I would still prefer to sit under a tree with a picnic basket rather than under a gas pump, but signs and comic strips are interesting as subject matter.
- Getting
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Picasso's always been such a huge influence that I thought when I started the cartoon paintings that I was getting away from Picasso, and even my cartoons of Picasso were done almost to rid myself of his influence.

Yeah, you know, you like it to come on like gangbusters, but you get into passages that are very interesting and subtle, and sometimes your original intent changes quite a bit.
- People

- Nov 07, 2020
Yes, you know sometimes, we started out thinking out how strange our painting was next to normal painting, which was anything expressionist. You forget that this has been thirty five years now and people don't look at it as if it were some kind of oddity.
- People

- Nov 07, 2020
You know, as you compose music, you're just off in your own world. You have no idea where reality is, so to have an idea of what people think is pretty hard.
- Form
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My work isn't about form. It's about seeing.
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm excited about seeing things, and I'm interested in the way I think other people saw things.
- Culture
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think there's the apparent lack of subtlety and sort of make-believe anti-sensibility connected with American art. I think this is a style, and it does relate to our culture, and I think it would be anachronistic maybe to pretend to be involved with subtle changes and modulations and things like that, because it's really not part of America.
- Make
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm trying to make paintings like giant musical chords, with a polyphony of colours that is nuts but works.
- Done
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've never done an anguished painting.

- Nov 07, 2020
When I have used cartoon images, I've used them ironically to raise the question, 'Why would anyone want to do this with modern painting?'
- Anyway
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Actually, I love the Abstract Expressionists - or I like the ones I like, anyway.
- Know

- Nov 07, 2020
We like to think of industrialization as being despicable. I don't really know what to make of it. There's something terribly brittle about it.
- Nature
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't know why you'd want to say your work comes from nature, because art is related to perception, not nature. All abstract artists try to tell you that what they do comes from nature, and I'm always trying to tell you that what I do is completely abstract. We're both saying something we want to be true.
- Art
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Everybody has called Pop Art 'American' painting, but it's actually industrial painting.
- High
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think art was the one thing my high school didn't give. And I think that was probably one reason why I was interested in it.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I drew as a child, they tell me. I can vaguely remember doing it. And then I drew again in the late years at high school.
- Know
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I thought art was a sort of romantic life, or I don't know what I thought art was like. But I learned practically everything I know from Ohio State. And I'm really glad I went.
- Important
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't think that my art isn't serious. I think the subjects are not serious, or my treatments of the subjects are not serious. But then, I'm also putting down subject, because like the abstract expressionists, I don't think the subject is important.
- Paint

- Nov 07, 2020
When I started to do these Pop paintings seriously, I used all these other paintings - the abstract ones - as mats. I was painting in the bedroom, and I put them on the floor so I wouldn't get paint on the floor. They got destroyed.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Making something good and saying something brilliant are not two things. When you make your own statement, there is a higher energy level, and you do better painting.
- Doing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The importance of art is in the process of doing it, in the learning experience where the artist interacts with whatever is being made.
- Greatest
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't think there is any question that Picasso is the greatest figure of the 20th century.
- Nuts
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think you go nuts when you get older.
- Look
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Pop Art looks out into the world. It doesn't look like a painting of something, it looks like the thing itself.
- Just
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The U.S. museums weren't looking at my paintings at all - they hated them, irredeemably. People metaphorically threw up when they saw my work! They thought I was enlarging comics, or just copying them.
- Like

- Nov 07, 2020
I like to pretend that my art has nothing to do with me.

I think we're much smarter than we were. Everybody knows that abstract art can be art, and most people know that they may not like it, even if they understand there's another purpose to it.
- Matter
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm not really sure what social message my art carries, if any. And I don't really want it to carry one. I'm not interested in the subject matter to try to teach society anything, or to try to better our world in any way.
