To find a new emotional and artistic security in color is the only
viable antidote to angst --
the only way the avant-garde painting
becomes more than an anxious object, uncertain of its identity,
as
Rosenberg argues. Indeed, the immediate experience of the
spirituality of color is the most exalted
way consciousness has of
rising above unconscious suffering and creative uncertainty.
Abstract Expressionism which has left the demiurge for the light is
the consummate realization
of Kandinsky's esthetic vision of
spiritual color.
Consciousness that pure color is the purest
self-consciousness is the ultimate esthetic truth.
