“Let us assume the
objects painted to be
mere props for revealing
the idea; the objects
in themselves have
relevance only as agents
and not as themselves...
The
mind
moves
through the object to
the idea, and through
the idea to the object.
Thus, the work becomes
concrete and abstract
at the same time.”
