CHI CHIEN

Instead of thinking about “what to paint,”
one should think about “how to paint.”
Instead of thinking about “how to paint,” one should think about “what painting is.
” Instead of thinking about “what painting is,” one should think about “what painting is not.
” Instead of “what painting is not,
” one should think about “where the image comes from,
” “where the painters are,” and “what happens to the audience.
” What is the thing between “what painting is” and “what painting can be?
” Everything's original about painting, unless you start thinking.
