Specialist note

"I strive to express the spiritual nature of the universe. Painting is for me a dynamic balance and wholeness of life; it is mysterious and transcendent, yet solid and real"

(R. Pousette-Dart quote in Richard Pousette-Dart, exh. cat., Venice, Peggy Guggenheim Collection, 2007, p. 21).
