Bill Berkson: So it’s a collaboration. You believe, like Picasso, in the “other.”
Philip Guson: Yes. Otherwise, painting becomes a series of habitual responses. You do one thing and follow tat up. This and then this. You sit back and look- at what? All you’ve done is illustrate what you were thinking about. You can keep working like that to the point of exasperation- and then perhaps something else will come along. Outside of your control. Then you’re in unknown territory and begin to lose “I-thought-this-and-did-it.” I’m not finished if I’m still burdened with the evidences of my will, hopes, and desires. all of that is a preparation for that moment when my thinking is simultaneous with what I’m doing- but under very particular conditions, difficult to talk about.
