It seems to me that the modern painter cannot express this age, the airplane, the atom bomb, the radio, in the old forms of the Renaissance or of any other past culture. Each age find its own technique.
The modern artist is living in a mechanical age and we have a mechanical means of representing objects in nature such as the camera and photograph. The modern artist, it seems to me, is working and expressing an inner world - in other words - expressing the energy, the motion, and other inner forces.
My opinion is that new needs need new techniques. And the modern artists have found new ways and new means of making their statements.
Most modern painters work from a different source. They work from within.

Modern art to me is nothing more than the expression of contemporary aims of the age that we're living in.
