Kenneth Noland Quote

Artists are mechanics who work with their hands, making things. Artists are involved with the means of creativity, the nature of skills, the revelation of making. Art comes from the work, I see a painting as an expressive entity. There's no picture that I know of where the subject carries as much expressive possibility as the actual execution of the picture.

Kenneth Noland, p. 9 - 'Conversation with Karen Wilkin' (1986-1988)
