Abstract

I have devoted the last two quarters to a series of drawings, paintings and lithographs concerned with the study and investigation of the “proportions within the areal break-up of the canvas, of value, and use of intensity.” In my last oral examination I was asked by what means I planned to carry out these aims. I realize that, at the time, I felt I would probably work out various color schemes concerned with value and intensity variances, and then do paintings based on these. At the time, I realized my need, but was uncertain as to how I would go about remedying my situation. What I did do is a little different from the rather “cut and dried” procedures I may have had in mind at the time.
