A note from LeRoy Neiman on artistic process.

Description

This brief note from LeRoy Neiman theorizes artistic process. He writes, “To (process) painting is to confirm / It’s not the destination / It’s the journey.” The remark then insinuates to find both painting and process, one must paradoxically undergo painting, the process. Completion is neither achievable nor relevant. The remark then speaks to the dynamism and constancy with which the artist was known to make his work.
