Yes.
1:12:12
Of course. I'll let him know.
1:12:17
Okay, bye.
1:12:22
LIFE magazine. They want
to do an article on you.
1:12:28
Damn.
1:12:32
I don't let the image
carry the painting.
1:12:36
If it creeps in,
I try to do away with it...
1:12:39
...to let the painting come through.
1:12:42
Hold it a minute there, please.
1:12:45
Pollock spends hours
contemplating a painting.
1:12:48
It may be days or even months
before he tackles it again.
1:12:52
Who are your favourite artists?
1:12:54
De Kooning, Kandinsky...
1:13:01
El Greco, Goya, Rembrandt.
1:13:05
How do you respond
to your critics?
1:13:07
They have said,
"A mop of tangled hair."
1:13:09
"A child's contour map
of the Battle of Gettysburg."
1:13:13
" Cathartic disintegration."
What do you say?
1:13:16
- You forgot, " Baked macaroni."
- Well?
1:13:18
Well, if people would just...
1:13:22
...leave most of their stuff at home
and look at the paintings...
1:13:25
...I don't think they'd have
any trouble enjoying them.
1:13:29
It's like looking at flowers.
1:13:31
You don't tear your hair out
over what it means.
1:13:35
How do you know when
you're finished with a painting?
1:13:39
How do you know when
you're finished making love?
1:13:55
That's better.
