Everything I need

 

"I watched a film of Cezanne painting.  Back and forth in a triangular relationship between the painter, the subject, the painitng.  Morandi did also - he was painting his jars - always in a triangle though.  When I paint, I look at the canvas ont he wall and I paint it.  I move back and forth between my seat and the painting in a straight line , between me and the work.  The painting being the subject and the object all in one.
There is no triangle.
Everything I need to make the painting is in me when I start."  Sean Scully 2016
