Every Picture One Paints Involves

Abstract Art Is Uniquely Modern. It Is A Fundamentally Romantic Response To Modern Life - Rebellious, Individualistic, Unconventional, Sensitive, Irritable.

For A Hundred Years, Modern Painters, Stubbornly And In The Face Of Incessant Hostility, Have Moved, Step By Step, Leaving Superb Monuments By The Wayside, Towards An Art Of Arrangement Whose Expressiveness Depends Less And Less Upon Its Elements Imitating The Objects Of The External World.

It May Be That The Deep Necessity Of Art Is The Examination Of Individual's And Society's Self-deception.

Nothing As Drastic An Innovation As Abstract Art Could Have Come In To Existence, Save As The Consequence Of A Most Profound, Relentless, Unquenchable Need. The Need Is For Felt Experience - Intense, Immediate, Direct, Subtle, Unified, Warm, Vivid, Rhythmic.

One Of The Most Striking Aspects Of Abstract Art's Appearance Is Her Nakedness, An Art Stripped Bare.
