Steve Reich, Vermont Counterpoint, 1982, Ransom Wilson, Solisti New York. Paintings by Adolph Gottlieb 1903-1974). Adolph Gottlieb, recognized as one of the first color field painters and a pioneer of Lyrical Abstraction. His works evoke a universality and a search into the dimensions of space. "The surprise in a painting is not the surprise of discovering some kind of a story or myth, it's the surprise of finding a clear statement about something that you felt and then to see it, to see this feeling become materialized in paint, then it really exists. And until it is materialized, it's not really certain whether this really exists or not. So in a way, I suppose, what I have been doing with my painting is making manifest certain feelings that I have. And also ideas in their intangible form. Then I know that I am actually alive and this is not all a figment of some imagination."...Adolph Gottlieb...from an interview conducted by Dorothy Seckler In New York October 25, 1967.
