I thought that if painting is dead, then it's a nice time to start painting. The conversation about painting being dead has gone on for about one hundred years. People have been talking about the death of painting for so many years that most of the people are dead now. Painting is alive; Andy [Warhol]'s paintings are still alive. Painters will paint.
