Form

I see only forms that are lit up and forms that are not. There is only light and shadow.~ Always lines, never forms! But where do they find these lines in Nature! For my part I see only forms that are lit up and forms that are not. There is only light and shadow.

I have had three masters, Nature, Velasquez, and Rembrandt.

-- Goya



I remember Francis Bacon would say that he felt he was giving art what he thought it previously lacked. With me, it's what Yeats called the fascination with what's difficult. I'm only trying to do what I can't do. ~ My work is purely autobiographical.. It is about myself and my surroundings. I work from people that interest me and that I care about, in rooms that I know.

-- Freud
