Paul Schimmel and Sanford Biggers – Experience or Interpretation?

The artificial construction people make is that painting is not intellectual, and does not involve much thinking, but involves psychic or subconscious pressures which are released through the act of painting. But I think painting like mine shows obvious kinds of hesitation and reworking which people associate with thought.                                                                          — Jasper Johns

I examine the art piece for specific elements significant to a particular artist – brush stroke, clor, manner and favorite shapes.
