| "I paint my attitude. I try to say in paint through our environment here what came with me from Europe, what re-shaped itself here, in forty-five years. I left Europe for America expecting to find and put in color what was not at home, without at all knowing it I have seen in gutters, slums, slaving places, hovels, common homesteads, poetics, business-good and bad, and in the homes of our wealthy, the counterpart of America: bluest ever sky and black night. I should be a writer, I would be a composer, but being all retina, I saw it all as color." | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
