Ode to Billy Joe (Apologies to Bobbie Gentry)
Acrylic on paper. My most recent painting.
“One hears many people say both in this country and in Europe that abstract art has seen its day, that it was an ism now gone out of style. Those who say this have no idea what abstract art is about, for it is in its infancy, its possibilities have only begun to be explored. Abstract expressionism is only a small phase of the large evolution of abstract art. Abstract art is as deep as the recesses of man’s imagination, as wide as the breadth of his capabilities; and, having once tasted these possibilities, I believe art will not long be satisfied with less.”
--Cleve Gray (1965)
