“The combination of an individual[i.e., a client] with a positive idea of living and a good designer is the great force in contemporary decoration. I don't care how good the designer is, I am sure that he [or she] would rahter have a person with definite ideas rahter than have to work with a negative figure as a client.” PersonsIdeasCareIndividualForceFiguresDesignNegativeDon't CareContemporaryCombinationI Don't CareDesignerClientsDefiniteInterior DesignDecorationGood Design Author:Van Day Truex

“The overscaled compositions being produced by so many abstract painters, which are full of movement and use of color, are ideal example, ideal transformations of an entire wall and entire room.... There is no denying that one of the major attractions of these successful large compositions is their structural decorative use in the contemporary scene... That these large canvases can be superbly decorative may not be considered complimentary by some of the artists involved.” MayUseArtistRoomsSuccessfulExampleMovementColorWallInvolvedSceneMajorsIdealsTransformationAttractionContemporaryPainterAbstractComposition Author:Van Day Truex
