Regarding non-objective painting, New York City artist Arlene Richman says, “I try not to be intellectual about it. I let it happen. If I have to state what I’m looking for, it’s fearlessness. I don’t want to feel inhibited.”
According to her, abstract art requires a resilience of vision—more so than when she created representational work, which the artist discovered just wasn’t the right fit for her. “I enjoyed doing it,” she says, “but I knew it wasn’t going to be the stopping point for me.”
