“Any incentive to paint is as good as any other. There is no poor subject. Painting is always strongest when, in spite of composition, colour, etc., it appears as a fact, or an inevitability, as opposed to a souvenir or arrangement. Painting relates to both art and life. Neither can be made. (I try to act in that gap between the two.)”
