“I began to feel that I could really learn, investigate, by losing a lot of what I knew.” 
Phillip Guston.

“I pursue no objectives, no systems, no tendency; I have no program, no style, no direction.
I have no time for specialised concerns, working themes, or variations that lead to mastery.
I steer clear of definitions. I don’t know what I want. I am inconsistent, non-committal, passive;
I like the indefinite, the boundless; I like continual uncertainty.” Gerhard Richter.

*“It is neither Art for Art, nor Art against Art. I am for Art, but for Art that has nothing to do with Art.
Art has everything to do with life, but it has nothing to do with Art.”  
Robert Rauschenberg.

“When one is young and has experienced a good deal of rejection, you want to show everyone how tough you are.
Later you want to show how clever you are. Later still, you want to see how far you can push yourself.
And finally, you don’t give a f**k about anything, you just want to howl at the moon.”  John Hoyland.

Painting is not; ‘doing the right thing’.
Painting is not; designed to impress.
Painting is not; his or hers. 
‘Painting is; a breath on a mirror, a footprint, grease on a towel, blood on a stone, damp wallpaper, torn advertising, meaningless graffiti, melting snow, dead leaves, weathered paint, broken windows, neglected gardens, a cry, a smile, a scream, defacement on defacement.’ 

John Hoyland.
