專家說明


"Sitting, dreaming on the steps, I used to be struck by the beauty, the force and the grace, at high tide with a strong Southwest wind of the seaspray spurting up, sometimes taller than a man, above the sea wall. After a time, I began experimenting with painting the seaspray."
Robert Motherwell
