Specialist note

"You must rid yourself of all intentions. How do you know where to put the brush, the mark, the color? I follow what is there and is not there. I follow the spirit of what I feel and cannot see."
—Richard Pousette-Dart, circa 1986 (S. Hunter and J. Kuebler eds., Richard Pousette-Dart: The New York School and Beyond, Milan, 2005, p. 43).
