Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Abstract Painting in America: February 12 to March 22, 1935
I The above is my idea of The basic implications in The ab stract concept and I Think it is implicit in all The various ex planations and viewpoints which have been advanced about abstract art. The American artists who Trom various angles have orientated Themselves about The abstract idea have not in all cases been as wholeheartedly scientitic as The above con siderations would seem To call Tor. However. I believe that even in Those cases where The artistic approach has been al most entirely emotional. The concept ot The autonomous exist ence of The canvas as a reality which is parallel To nature has been recognized. IT should also be noted that The ideas sug gested above automatically explain The geometric character of many abstract works of art.
