Here’s a pretty well-known quote in context. A part of the context is that it is from Selden Rodman’s book. The telling of it printed here is the most accurate that we’ve got, and perhaps this is relevant as I’m seeing it condensed or misquoted in memes often.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou might as well get one thing straight,\u201d he said, relaxing, \u201cI\u2019m not an abstractionist.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n


\n\u201cYou\u2019re an abstractionist to me,\u201d I said. \u201cYou\u2019re a master of color harmonies and relationships on a monumental scale. Do you deny that?\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n

\n\u201cI do. I\u2019m not interested in relationships of color or form or anything else. I\u2019m interested only in expressing basic human emotions \u2014 tragedy, ecstasy, doom, and so on \u2014 and the fact that lots of people break down and cry when confronted with my pictures shows that I communicate those basic human emotions\u2026 The people who weep before my pictures are having the same religious experience I had when I painted them. And if you, as you say, are moved only by their color relationships, then you miss the point!\u201d – Selden Rodman, Conversations with Artists.<\/span><\/span> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
