Between the seer & the seen—a blinding stillness.
A light cold white line on salt water is the world’s resting-point out.
—Fanny Howe—

I think that most art which begins to make a statement fails to make a statement because the methods used are too schematic or too artificial. I think that one wants from a painting a sense of life. The final suggestion, the final statement, has to be not a deliberate statement but a helpless statement.
—Jasper Johns—
