"If you are not painting a picture and you are not painting a story, and you are not painting something that we know, then what can you do? What is there? And that to me, was an exciting challenge, because there were still the devices to work with, I mean all of the traditional devices that painters used, so you could use those, color, surface etc. So I tried to make the surface and the structure, the line, as direct as I could. For instance, if I were painting a line, I would not actually paint a line, I would paint an area of paint and stop. And then the edge of the paint would be a line. So it would be a little different than actually painting a picture of a line, a different feeling, and, of course, the colors of the surface could be used, and the edges and always I would take the wall plane into consideration, and how the painting was going to be interacting with that.The edge was not a painted line, but the actual edge of the support would become another line." -- Robert Ryman, 1991.
