Learn to paint a tiger and you only paint his skin; learn to know a human being and you only know his face.
The spot paintings and spin paintings were trying to find mechanical ways to make paintings.
When I was painting in art school - and I think many painters in the 1980s worked similarly - a finished painting would often be constructed from lots of other paintings underneath. Some of these individual layers of painting were better than others,...
