"I know it's tricky ground, but I like to define painting in spiritual terms. Whatever subject matter or structure I bring to the painting –– and use and work through and rely on as factors –– for me painting is always about getting toward something I don't know about or understand. The way I get there is visual."
–– Brice Marden (b. 1938), American artist
