To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
. My paintings are uninhabited by recognizable personages, but I hope still my \arious figures and constructions arc not altogether inanimate. '' Such a painter as Theodoros Stamos, who has travelled far away from anything like documentary description, says, quite simply, "I paint from nature. " Lamar Dodd gi\es forceful expression to the feeling that many paintei-s ha\e that there is a deeply rooted relationship 19 between the creative process and an awareness of the surrounding physical world... when he writes, "I have felt, in my own work to date, that some con- tact with nature is absolutely essential. This does not necessarily mean that a direct relationship exists between the painting and the visual image of the natural object. The painter establishes such relationship by abstracting his material from his entire visual experience. By this means paintings seem to grow structurally with natural objects acting as a suggestive factor. " The important thing, of course, as the preceding statements show, is not the original stimulus in itself, but the artist's relation and reaction to it, and his development from this point forward.
