art conspiracy abstract
Lenin thought abstract art was a conspiracy by the bourgeois to demoralize the proletariat. Yeah, socialist realism!
artist over-you discovering-yourself
I've never been a representational artist at all. Most artists have been representational. That's when you discover yourself.

I believe that woman are superior to men.

I'm a feminist. I've always been in favor of women.

I was hanging out and drinking as long as I could afford it, or as long as somebody else could afford it.

I've often stopped working for long periods.
country law people
People are always trading their excess for somebody else's excess. One country has a lot of aluminum so they trade aluminum for sugar. It's the law of supply and demand.
hate house bricks
I grew up in a brick house. What's wrong with bricks? An Englishman took me aside and said, "You have to understand, all the bricklayers in England are Irish, and the English hate the Irish."
drinking car long
I never drove a car in my life. Given my drinking habits in those days, I would have been dead a long time ago - stumbling out of a bar at 4 a.m. and getting into a car.
girl mother home
The girls you picked up from the bars were not the girls you took home to mother.
men
I didn't like men, but I liked women.
men order beats
I didn't like men because they were so physically competitive. Men are always making a pecking order. "I can beat you up and you can beat him up ..."

It seems with progress you gain certain things and you lose certain things. The automobile replaced the horse and buggy but you lost all of that nice manure.
art artist want
An artist, to achieve anything in art, has to finally do the thing that nobody else wants to do and nobody else has thought to do.
