Adam CAPLIN
Tho' written almost one hundred years ago, this aptly introduces Adam CAPLIN:
“ I was returning, immersed in thought, from my sketching; on opening my studio door, I was confronted by a picture of indescribable and incandescent loveliness.
Bewildered, I stopped, staring at it.
The painting lacked all subject, depicted no identifiable object,and was entirely composed of bright colour patches. Finally, I approached closer and only then saw it for what it was - my own painting, lying on its side on the easel!
One thing became clear to me -that objectiveness, the depiction of objects, needed no place in my paintings, and was in fact harmful to them.”
(Wassily KANDINSKY-the father of Abstraction,1908)
