Only now 1943 I become conscious that my work in black, white and little color planes has been merely 'drawing' in oil color.

The whole point of art school is that you're going to be able to have nudes all day long and a teacher who is there to move you. It's great.

In 1978 I decided not to work with Man Ray as an act of self-discipline. I didn't want to rely on him. Man Ray hated not working, though. He would come into my studio, see me drawing or working on photographs, and just slump down at my feet with a big sigh. Fortunately for both of us the year ended. Polaroid had invented a new camera, the twenty-by-twenty-four, and I was invited to Cambridge, Mass., to experiment with it. Naturally, I took Man Ray and we were working again.
