If I feel a painting I'm working on doesn't have imagery or emotion, I paint it out and work over it until it does.
Franz Kline -
People sometimes think I take a white canvas and paint a black sign on it,but this is not true.I paint the white as well as the black and the white is just as important.

Some of the pictures I work on a long time and they look as if I've knocked them out, you know, and there are other pictures that come off right away. The immediacy can be accomplished in a picture that's been worked on for a long time just as well as if it's been done rapidly, you see. But I don't find that any of these things prove anything really.
Franz Kline -
If you're a painter, you are not alone. There's no way to be alone. You think and you care and you're with all the people who care. You think you care and you’re with all the people who care, including the young people who don’t know they do yet. Tomlin in his late paintings knew this, Jackson always knew it: that if you meant it enough..
Franz Kline -
I paint not the things I see but the feelings they arouse in me.
Franz Kline -
I think that if you use long lines, they become – what could they be? The only thing they could be is either highways or architecture or bridges.
