“Then you learn about composition, you learn about old masters, you form certain ideas about structure. But the inhuman activity of trying to make some kind of jump or leap, where , the painting is always saying, 'What do you want from me? I can only be a painting.' You have to go from part to part, but you shouldn't see yourself go from part to part, that's the whole point.” WantTryingKindI CanIdeasWholeFormCertainEducationPaintingMastersActivityStructureLeapCompositionInhuman Author:Philip Guston
