Artist Statement:
One of my theories about art
is that a good piece of art
tells a story in a tenth of a
second.
Another of my theories is that
any work of art can be
converted into a number of
ergs of energy equal to its
mass in grams multiplied by
the square of the speed of
light in centimeters per
second. (All right, it's
Albert Einstein's theory, but
I agree with it.)
I've dabbled in a number of
creative disciplines since I
was a kid in Amsterdam in the
1530s, including music,
writing, flying kites in
thunderstorms, poetry, and
storytelling. Painting is a
more recent obsession, because
for many years I operated
under the mistaken notion that
I had no aptitude for visual
art. I think part of the
reason for this is the way art
is taught in public schools in
this country.
But now I paint, and one of
the things that's surprised me
about painting is that it
seems to use the same part of
my brain as storytelling.
That, and how great Murphy's
Oil Soap is for cleaning
brushes.
Facio neque permitto ostium
infligo tui puga sicut tu
licentia.
