Franz Kline Quote

In Braque and Gris, they seemed to have idea of the organization beforehand in their mind. With Bonnard, he is organizing in front of you. You can tell in Leger just when he discovered how to make it like an engine.... What's wrong with that? You see it in Barney [Barnett Newman] too, that he knows what a painting should be. He paints as he thinks painting should be, which is pretty heroic.
