                                                                 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.
