“It is the moment when our resolution seems about to become irrevocable--when the fatal iron gates are about to close upon us--that tests our strength.

“Painting is... a correspondence between what you are and what you see. It's a moment when something is holding together in such a way that it is a universe in itself... Within this is a test and also a judgment upon yourself, your capabilities, your promises, and the part that you play in the world. And nobody else can test that for you. Certainly not the Museum of Modern Art.” WorldWayArtPlayMomentsTogetherUniverseModernPaintingPromiseJudgmentTestsMuseumsCapabilityModernismCorrespondenceModern Art Author:Milton Resnick
