Note du spécialiste

‘My canvases are something like a magnetic field, and they have to be alive all over; how far will the forces that are established by this division of colour carry? And with a large painting using only two areas, this has to be felt very keenly so that the forces will carry across the canvas to the edge of the opposite side, with an aliveness that makes each part of the canvas tremendously sensitive and responsive to every other part.’
– Leon Polk Smith
