Kenneth Noland American Artist Quotations

Clem had made it known that Pollock was a great painter.

Because of this the representation I'm interested in is of those things only the eye can touch.

The scene then as now was centered in New York. For the most part, I've kept a bit apart from that attractive and seductive city. I've done it by living in the country within commuting distance.

That's the way I work. Usually I start by fooling with the stuff, make messes. Sometimes something comes out of it; sometimes it doesn't.

I paint my paintings directly. I almost never paint over. This maintains the attention of the picture for me, my contact with what I am doing.
