Compared to works like “Minutiae, 1954”, “Interior, 1956” is a breath of fresh air, and soothing break from the former over-stimulating and busy canvas.

Early in the twentieth century, for instance, artists expanded the definition of art to include such things as abstraction, collage, and readymades.
Thanks to art, instead of seeing a single world, our own, we see it multiply until we have before us as many worlds as there are original artists.
