I think we're much smarter than we were. Everybody knows that abstract art can be art, and most people know that they may not like it, even if they understand there's another purpose to it.
I drew as a child, they tell me. I can vaguely remember doing it. And then I drew again in the late years at high school.
I don't think that my art isn't serious. I think the subjects are not serious, or my treatments of the subjects are not serious. But then, I'm also putting down subject, because like the abstract expressionists, I don't think the subject is important.
I'm not really sure what social message my art carries, if any. And I don't really want it to carry one. I'm not interested in the subject matter to try to teach society anything, or to try to better our world in any way.
I wasn't sure pop art or my work would last more than six months.
Everybody has called Pop Art 'American' painting, but it's actually industrial painting.
