“Starting with approaching the spot where the painting is to be done, meanwhile realising the emptiness of the mind, up to the method of 'the flying white', of the rule of the singular stroke of the brush.. ..there is a proper tradition in which the artist is fully aware of the fact that only the pure and empty spontaneity enables him to embrace without hesitating all apparitions and to truly penetrate into the roots of things.” MindDoneFactsArtistWhitePaintingPureTraditionRootsEmptyMethodEmbraceStartingFlyingSpotsEmptinessRealisingStrokesBrushesPenetrateSpontaneityApparitions Author:Antoni Tapies

A research on the lines of applied science would doubtless have led to improvement and development of the older methods - the research in pure science has given us an entirely new and much more powerful method.
