I think of my peace paintings as one long poem, with each painting being a single stanza. |
I never had the exposure to techniques and so forth that children have today with art workshops, but I always had crayons and pencils and still have work going right back to when I was five or six years old. |
Some people like to paint trees. I like to paint love. I find it more meaningful than painting trees. |
I was the least Pop of all the Pop artists. |
I realize that protest paintings are not exactly in vogue, but I've done many. |
Many, many of my paintings have come from the first chapter of Moby Dick. |
I've always been fascinated by numbers. Before I was seventeen years old, I had lived in twenty-one different houses. In my mind, each of those houses had a number. |
