“Abstract paintings are like fictitious models because they visualize a reality which we can neither see nor describe which we nonetheless conclude exists. We attract negative names to this reality: the un-known, the un-graspable…[for centuries] we have depicted in terms of absolute images like heaven and hell. With abstract painting we create a better means of approaching what can neither be seen nor understood because abstract painting illustrates with the greatest clarity…since everything unknown frightens us and fills us with hope at the same time, we make these images as a possible explanation…or as a way of dealing with it.” ~ Gerhard Richter
