« All quotes from this author
 

For the first time a subject is present, not by virtue of its absence, but actually present,, though its appearance is torn away, and only the structure bared. The Modern City! Precise, rectangular, squared, whether seen from above, below, or on the side; bright lights and sterilized life; Broadway, whites and blacks; and boogie-woogie; the underground music of the at once resigned and rebellious.. ..Mondrian has left his white paradise, and entered the world. (1942, on the painting 'Broadway Boogie Woogie' of Piet Mondrian)

Painters Objects, Robert Motherwell pp. 95,96, as quoted in Abstract Expressionist Painting in America, W.C, Seitz, Cambridge Massachusetts, 1983, pp. 128-129
