About Me |
|
Why do you paint? For exactly the same reason I breathe. That’s not an answer. There isn’t any answer. How long hasn’t there been any answer? As long as I can remember. And how long have you written? As long as I can remember. I mean poetry. So do I. Tell me, doesn’t your painting interfere with your writing? Quite the contrary: they love each other dearly. They’re very different. Very: one is painting and one is writing. But your poems are rather hard to understand, whereas your paintings are so easy. Easy? Of course--you paint flowers and girls and sunsets; things that everybody understands. I never met him. Who? Everybody. Did you ever hear of nonrepresentational painting? I am. Pardon me? I am a painter, and painting is nonrepresentational. Not all painting. No: housepainting is representational. And what does a housepainter represent? Ten dollars an hour. In other words, you don’t want to be serious-- It takes two to be serious. Well let me see...oh yes, one more question: where will you live after this war is over? In China; as usual. China? Of course. Wherabouts in China? Where a painter is a poet. The day of spoken lyric is past. The poem which has at last taken its place does not sing itself; it builds itself, three dimensionally, gradually, subtly, in the consciousness of the experiencer. |
