“Each line now is the actual experience with it’s own innate history. It does not illustrate- it is the sensation of it’s own realization. The imagery is one of the private or separate indulgences rather than the abstract totality of visual perception. This is very difficult to describe, but it is an involvement with essence (no matter how private) into a synthesis of feeling, intellect, etc. occurring without separation in the impulse of action.” - Cy Twombly
