...Pollock's work while refreshing it with a new intensity of color, inspired by Matisse. At the end of the purge you would have a clipped but radiant discourse of pure hue, fixed by an exaggerated pictorial flatness, done in thinned translucent washes that became the surface. Louis' direct inspiration for this was an early canvas by Helen Frankenthaler, Mountains and Sea, 1952, whose liquid blotches and airy sense of light struck him, in one of the few quotable phrases he left behind, as a "bridge between Pollock and what was possible...
...comers' neomodern bent is ironic, given who advised MacNair in selecting the final 40: Philip Johnson and Robert A.M. Stern.

"I think your integrity has a direct link to your check book," Avildsen says...
...Some Chinese have members of their direct families living in Taiwan. How anybody can deny them the right to see their dear ones, I don't understand," Han said. When the communists under Mao Zedong gained control of China in 1949, the Nationalist forces of Chiang Kai-Shek took refuge on the nearby island of Taiwan...
