“ Through a painting we can see the whole world. ”
The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.
~ Hans Hofmann
The whole world, as we experience it visually, comes to us through the mystic realm of color.
What goes on in abstract art is the proclaiming of aesthetic principles... It is in our own time that we have become aware of pure aesthetic considerations. Art never can be imitation.
Art is to me the glorification of the human spirit, and as such it is the cultural documentation of the time in which it is produced.
