This is especially true of the Open paintings, which consist of broad fields of color whose only additional feature is an HANSNAMUTH incomplete rectangle or trapezoid, formed by three or four lines of charcoal or black paint, that seems to give access to a field behind the field. This enclosure may be strict-edged or fuzzily tremulous, but it always conveys the impression of architectural form-a window or a door, a passage from inside to outside.

It is hardly worth mentioning when a 50-year-old man or woman runs a marathon, although the triathlon, which may consist of a long swim, a bike race and a complete running marathon on the same day, still raises a few eyebrows...
