I'll always be grateful to the public of intelligent amateurs.
Two sittings a day of my models and I'm totally exhausted.
I am the primitive of the method I have invented.
I like not to feel that all my eggs are in one basket, or I get nervous.
The position of the artist if humble. He is essentially a channel.
Every act of creation is first an act of destruction.
The hidden harmony is better than the obvious.
Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions.
To draw you must close your eyes and sing.
I begin with an idea and then it becomes something else.

Color is only beautiful when it means something.

There are very few people who do what I do.
To create a new standard, you have to be up for that challenge and really enjoy it.
My days all follow much the same pattern. They are structured and typical.
I didn't start to be an artist myself until I was 24.
The dog and the rabbit are telling us not to chase unattainable material goals.
There is a little bit of me infused in every character I play.
As I say, I as an abstract artist was active politically.
In the late 30s the name Pollock was totally unknown and unheard of.
