"Abstract painting is abstract. It confronts you. There was a reviewer a while back who wrote that my pictures didn't have any beginning or any end. He didn't mean it as a compliment, but it was." - Jackson Pollock


"Painting is self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is." - Jackson Pollock
