I'm not so facile that I can accomplish or find out what I want to know or explore enough of the possibilities and a way of making a painting, say, in just one painting or two paintings.

I'm sure we don't read old paintings the way they were intended.
Robert Rauschenberg

My father is a well known artist, Ted Dyer, who has been painting for many years. Our work is very different, but growing up surrounded by paintings, paints, easels and art books does have an effect.
John Dyer

My first concern was to take care of my drawing. I did not have any knowledge in arts, especially Haitian arts, apart from the paintings I saw in my father's office.
Ralph Allen

My paintings are not about what is seen. They are about what is known forever in the mind.
Agnes Martin

My paintings do not have a center, but depend on the same amount of interest throughout.
