There is always a subject in my mind that is more important than anything else. Sometimes I am aware of it, sometimes not. I keep working on my canvas until I think it is finished. The subject matter may be revealed to me in the middle of the work, or I may not recognize it until a long time afterward. (W. Baziotes as quoted in William Baziotes: A Memorial Exhitbition, exh. cat., New York, 1965, p. 40.)
