Kenneth Noland (1924-2010)

“I think all totally abstract pictures – the best ones that really come off – Newman, Pollock, Kenneth Noland – have tremendous space; perspective space despite the emphasis on flat surface. For example, in Noland a band of yellow in relation to a band of blue and one of orange can move in depth although they are married to the surface. This has become a familiar explanation, but few people really see and feel it that way.” (H. Frankenthaler, in 'Interview with Helen Frankenthaler', Artforum 4. no. 2, October 1965, p. 37)
