He explained that these guidelines stipulate that "if experiments are going to be carried out on man, every effort must be made to ensure that the experiment is safely conceived, that the procedure is done with the informed consent of the patient, and that scientific and ethical matters involved...

As he analyzes it, the impression derives from his own deeply felt delight in the act of painting and his evolving style. In human relationships, Noland will explain with an engaging leer, "you're involved with someone as long as something is developing, changing or insightful. Painting is the same...
