JS: There is a great deal of talk especially by
hostile art critics that modern art is the equivalent of a fraud, that
the artist is trying to put something over on the public. And although
the public accepts modern art when incorporated into architecture,
advertisements, posters, and even household articles, it still refuses
to accept modern painting. What do think can be done to close this gap?
HM: Who occupies himself with that question?
They are the painters and the critics. It began that way, criticized by
everybody, but I didn’t bother myself about it. I said to myself, “when
what I paint will be clearly expressed, everybody will understand.” I
continued and I have been admitted.
