Specialist note
“these paintings deal with a
contemplative penetrating form of
dynamic stillness – a stopping of time
a silence – a meditation – a regeneration
…the grain &
points of form – structure & the prismatic
magic of light. The molecular structure
& energy of life itself.”
(R. Pousett-Dart writings included in Richard Pousette-Dart, an exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1974, in L. S. Sims, Richard Pousette-Dart Presences: The Imploding of Color, exh. cat., Knoedler & Company, New York, 2005)
