«Today, mere textural novelty is being presented by a dominant group of museum officials, dealers, and publicity men as the unique manifestation of the artistic intuition. This arbitrary exploitation of a single phase of painting encurages a contempt for the taste and intelligence of the public […] These theories are fixed in a ritual jargon equally incomprehensible to artist and layman.» (Opening statement, March 1950, from: Hemingway, 2002)
