Ensayo del lote

"The ‘look’ [of the paintings] is the result of a completely new (to me) attitude toward emotion. I have left expressionism, and although the new paintings have feeling, the emotion is that which each painting demands…Left behind is the ‘anguish.’ I now hope to triumph, to bring to each painting as much clarity, beauty and even ecstasy as I am able. The scream has become a song." (G. Hartigan, quoted in Hartigan ‘62, exh. cat., Martha Jackson Gallery, New York, 1962, n.p.).
