“Painting will have to deal more fully and less obliquely with life and nature's phenomena before it can again become great.”

I trust Winsor and Newton and I paint directly upon it.
In its most limited sense, modern, art would seem to concern itself only with the technical innovations of the period.
It's to paint directly on the canvas without any funny business, as it were, and I use almost pure turpentine to start with, adding oil as I go along until the medium becomes pure oil. I use as little oil as I can possibly help, and that's my method.
The question of the value of nationality in art is perhaps unsolvable.
