"I think of 'seeing' as a kind of constant... In that sense there was no change in the perceptual process. However, one is continually perceiving the painting itself in process, and this brings about a mix with the conceptual. It's a different mix with representationI didn't start seeing differently. I simply saw different things."

Richard Diebenkorn quoted in J. Butterfield, "Diebenkorn: A Painter's 'Pentimento,'" United, June 1983, n.p.
