"A square (neutral, shapeless) canvas, five feet high, as high as a man, as wide as a man's outstretched arms (not large, not small, sizeless), trisected (no composition), one horizontal form negating one vertical form (formless, no top, no bottom, directionless), three (more or less) dark (lightless) no-contrasting (colorless) colors, brushwork brushed out to remove brushwork, a matte, flat free-hand painted surface (glossless, textureless, non-linear, no hard edge, no soft edge) wich does not reflect its sorroundings--a pure, abstract, non-objective, timeless, spaceless, changeless, relationless, disinterested painting-- an object that is self-conscious (no unconsciusness) ideal, trascendent, aware of no thing but art (absolutely no anti-art) 1961.
Ad Reinhardt. Art as Art. pg 83.
