But when I worked on a painting I would do it from a drawing but I would put certain things I was fairly sure I wanted in the painting, and then collage on the painting with printed dots or painted paper or something before I really committed it.

When I have used cartoon images, I've used them ironically to raise the question, 'Why would anyone want to do this with modern painting?'

Yes, you know sometimes, we s...

Yes, you know sometimes, we started out thinking out how strange our painting was next to normal painting, which was anything expressionist. You forget that this has been thirty five years now and people don't look at it as if it were some kind of oddity.

I think there's the apparent ...

I think there's the apparent lack of subtlety and sort of make-believe anti-sensibility connected with American art. I think this is a style, and it does relate to our culture, and I think it would be anachronistic maybe to pretend to be involved with subtle changes and modulations and things like that, because it's really not part of America.

Actually, I love the Abstract Expressionists - or I like the ones I like, anyway.

The U.S. museums weren't looking at my paintings at all - they hated them, irredeemably. People metaphorically threw up when they saw my work! They thought I was enlarging comics, or just copying them.

I drew as a child, they tell me. I can vaguely remember doing it. And then I drew again in the late years at high school.

Pollock really invented something. No one painted like him - or de Kooning or Still.

I think art was the one thing my high school didn't give. And I think that was probably one reason why I was interested in it.

Pop Art looks out into the world. It doesn't look like a painting of something, it looks like the thing itself.

Pop Art looks out into the world. It doesnt look like a painting of something, it looks like the thing itself.

Color is crucial in painting,...

Color is crucial in painting, but it is very hard to talk about. There is almost nothing you can say that holds up as a generalization, because it depends on too many factors: size, modulation, the rest of the field, a certain consistency that color has with forms, and the statement you're trying to make.

Roy Lichtenstein 63 quotes

There must be something about art... almost all cultures have done art. It's a refining of the senses, which are there to keep us alive. As far as we know, no other animals do that.

Roy Lichtenstein 63 quotes

What interests me is to paint...

What interests me is to paint the kind of antisensitivity that impregnates modern civilization. I think art since Cezanne has become extremely romantic and unrealistic, feeding on art. It is Utopian. It has less and less to do with the world. It looks inward - neo-Zen and all that. Pop Art looks out into the world. It doesn't look like a painting of something, it looks like the thing itself.

I dont have big anxieties. I wish I did. Id be much more interesting.

All my art is in some way about other art, even if the other art is cartoons.

Im not really sure what social message my art carries, if any. And I dont really want it to carry one. Im not interested in the subject matter to try to teach society anything, or to try to better our world in any way.

I was at Rutgers University, and that was a center for Fluxus in a way. But it wasn't what I was interested in. All of it had an impact - as did happenings - because I could see that art was changing from expressionism, which I was doing at the time, or thought I was doing. But it wasn't the direction I really wanted to go.

People think one-point and two-point perspective is how the world actually looks, but of course, it isn't. It's a convention.

I'm never drawing the object itself; I'm only drawing a depiction of the object - a kind of crystallized symbol of it.
