I'm interested only in expressing basic human emotions. And the fact that a lot of people break down and cry when confronted with my pictures shows that I can communicate these basic

human emotions. (Mark Rothko)

The modern artist, it seems to me, is working and expressing an inner world in other words – expressing the energy, the motion and other

inner forces. (Jackson Pollock)

I wanted things that I couldn't at times articulate.
