Formalism (Homily)
"Even though Diebenkorn often nails a kind of osmotic mise-en-scene (i.e., the Venice neighborhood after which the paintings are named), he really has nothing to say except, approximately, this: Using a moderately big format, continually fairing and truing my system of rectangles, triangles, elegant gutters, and a scrub-in/rub-out drawing, and seeing that my colors are always domesticated by at least a pinch of white, I can get pictorial harmony every time." -- Plagens, 1998
{It seems that this is something like C. Seeger, Schoenberg, Cage and maybe MacDonald-Wright were saying. KR}
