All my life I have harbored a tremendous respect and love for traditional forms of visual art: painting, sculpture, drawing. There has been great human achievement in these fundamental forms, and I think that there are no limits for the artist working within them, whether it is photorealism or pure abstraction or the most furious expressionism.
