"in the process of self-definition, an art form will tend toward the elimination of all the elements which are not in keeping with its essential nature. according to this argument, visual art will be stripped of all extravisual meaning, whether literary or symbolic, and painting will reject all that is not pictorial ."

"on the floor i feel more at ease. i feel nearer, more part of the painting, since this way i can walk around it, work from four sides and literally be in the painting. when i am in the painting i’m not aware of what i’m doing. it is only after a sort of ‘get acquainted’ period that i see what i have been about. i have no fears about making changes, destroying the image, etc., because the painting has a life of its own. i try to let it come through. it is only when i lose contact with the painting that the result is a mess. otherwise there is pure harmony, an easy give and take, and the painting comes out well."
