“I would rather say that I have to be not from Los Angeles but from America. When I go to Europe or Asia, I find myself disoriented. I'm not so inspired by their culture as much. It's not going to really come out in my work. I would be more influenced by what somebody from America does - like a sign painter from Pennsylvania.” DoeWould BeAmericaCultureEuropeInspiredPainterLos AngelesAsiaPennsylvania Author:Edward Ruscha
“A lot of abstract painters seem to be doing everything all at once now. And so these different styles are jibing and not so jibing, and they're clashing. But they all seem to be working in their own domain. Whereas back in the '60s, man, it was kind of a dull world. It was a vital world. But it was kind of contained and not too recognized by the public. Now art is absolutely recognized by the public.” MenWorldKindArtDifferentSeemsStyleArt IsPainterAbstractDullDomainDifferent Styles Author:Edward Ruscha
