"Abstraction allows [artist] man to see with his mind what he cannot physically see with his eyes. Abstract art enables the artist to perceive beyond the tangible to extract the infinite out of the finite.
It is the emancipation of the mind. It is the explosion into unknown areas." —Arshile Gorky
(Composition, c. 1938, Oil on canvas, 152.4 x 86.2 cm, Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C.)
