I would want students to be exposed to the idea that these are works of art just like a painting or a sculpture is a work of art.

When God paints with me, my work is divine, and when I paint alone its not.

Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot; others transform a yellow spot into the sun.

One never knows what one is going to do. One starts a painting and then it becomes something quite different.

All real works of art look as though they were done in joy.

The most important thing in art is the frame. For painting: literally; for other arts: figuratively - because, without this humble appliance, you can't know where The Art stops and The Real World begins. You have to put a "box" around it because otherwise, what is that shit on the wall?
