Specialist note


'Because it functions freely and objectively in terms of its own palpable form, an abstract work ultimately demands, for its full realisation the whole gamut of physical dimension. Furthermore, in so far as the process of human perception operates as a three-dimensional experience, it will demand from a work of visual art a similar condition of physical form. This means that the purely abstract artist will be frustrated in his urge for complete development so long as he confines himself to the surface bound medium of painting alone.'
