專家說明

This work is recorded in the Arshile Gorky Foundation Archives under number D1150.


"...delineation performs most of its possible functions. Meaning is not in abstraction, but in a painstaking morphology of the visual and tactile world, depicted in a draftsmanship which draws hairline distincstions between fleshy masses, hard bony protuberances, ephermeral clusters of overlapping pertals, or the fragile bodies of insects."

W. C. Seitz, Abstract Expressionist Painting in America, New York, p. 16.
