C. Morey De Morand
As I work, I make divisions that are quite static in order to have as little to do with composition as I possibly can.
I don't care to use, say green to make the red look redder, or hot colours in front of cool colours nor any of the generally accepted notions of painting.
In fact, I often deliberately go against these 'rules' to try to get the truth of the painting - to the observer.
When I begin I set up my own rules for the works which then mutate as I up the stakes at each stage. The works carry within themselves their inner concerns.
My feeling is to enjoy the canvas as an entity, not an illusion.
