Specialist note
`Why do I choose to use drawing and painting techniques usually associated with people who have no culture or artistic aspirations…it was done…out of a desire to see the creation of art and its effect exercised absolutely stripped down, under conditions that completely exclude all additions, sham and confusion. It seemed to me that the effect of art produced in conditions so unsuitable to its production would be more impressive and would have more force.'
