Thinking About Ryman

This is Robert Ryman's "Untitled", 1965. I am really enjoying this guys work, it's very different from what I'm used to. But its not so much the work that I'm captivated by, although I do really like this piece, but his fascination and love for paint. I was watching an interview with him in one of my classes and he just talks about how he just loves paint. One his great quotes is " It's not about what to paint, but how to paint". I've been keeping that in my mind for the past couple of days while I have been rushing around to get work done. Personally, I think some of the most compelling work deals with how paint is used.
