There are people who don't respond to color. That's what painting is. It's color.

The only thing simple about the past is that it's not now.

A great painting is a great painting.

There's something always instinctively visually right about nature. There's no difference, to my eye, between looking at a great painting and looking at nature. Because painting, when it's great, has the same immutable rightness, unquestioned rightness, about it.
