otherwise it's not art. But using it as a style, I think that it's really a kind of conceptual rather than a visual style which maybe permeates most art being done today, whether it's geometric or whatever. Whereas Abstract Expressionism was rather loose and would yield to whatever sensibility the artist had about the work and his sensitivity to color, to position, to emphasis and so forth, much of what is done today, in Pop and in other styles, apparently does not yield to the influence of the other parts of the work and does not in a way seem to be involved in sensitivity to the aesthetic problem. Although it really is. I think that may be the underlying point of today's art. I think Pop is a particular facet of that. Pop deals with using commercial subject matter, and commercial subject matter seems to lack sensitivity usually, or at least the kind of commercial subject matter that I use. It's that sort of anti-sensibility and conceptual appearance of the work that interests me and is my subject matter.

AS: Do you have other things to say about your attitude toward our society and the idea of anti-sensibility?
