good legacy moving selling till work worry
You live till you die, and that's the end of it. What good is your legacy when you are dead? I worry about being alive, selling work, having fun, moving and doing things when I am alive.

Many young artists, they look at the art world and think they can make a lot of money.
I think of my actions every day: what seems to be important and what isn't.
andy billboard commercial common meet pop until warhol work
The only thing the Pop Artists had in common is that we all had been commercial artists in some manner. Lichtenstein was a draftsman; I was a billboard painter, but we didn't work together. I didn't meet Andy Warhol until 1964.
When I got my first loft, I still didn't know what I was going to paint... There were long stretches when I just sat there and thought without interruption.
solve
If a person is insane or troubled, you first have to get the person to admit that they have a problem before you can solve anything.

We may seem insignificantly small, but we exist. So I remain optimistic.
I hate getting old, but I'm sticking with it!
I feel lucky that I've been able to make a living from painting any idea that comes into my head.
I am getting old, so I really don't like clocks.

When I started out, I wanted to paint the Sistine Chapel. But I didn't have the content.
art believe
Believe it or not, there were very few books on art, years ago.
