| Description: |
``The problems dealt with in
abstract art
relate to
the interplay of forces;
the geometrical forms often used by abstract artists
do not indicate (as has been thought)
a conscious and intellectual, mathematical approach --
a square and a circle in art are nothing in themselves
and are
alive only in the instinctive and ispirational use
an artist can make of them
in expressing a poetic idea''
