“There is no way to revive old forms, or to rework old forms, because the artist is never going to understand them well enough to do first grade work. So, if you want to rework Matisse, you’ll just be a bad Matisse, that’s all. There’s nothing to be gained by that. So, in order to do work comparable to Matisse, for example, you have to invent as much as Matisse did.”
