Honest, I don't worship Jackson Pollock . . . Today it's almost impossible to worship anything except the creative expression of the self. This emphasis on individuality (not for its own sake) makes the work of the "abstract expressionists" meaningful-not in any basically different way from jazz, or certain aspects of American business before becoming institutionalized, etc. This vital American painting is not only an answer to greyflannelsuitism, but to art as propaganda (e.g., Russia today and Mexico yesterday).

The play, however, does raise the question of how much subtlety of expression and meaning a writer of poetic drama has to sacrifice for the sake of clarity. Plays, perhaps, more than any other form of literature, must be capable of raising and sustaining the interest and immediate involvement of the audience. If the language of a play is subtle to the point of obscurity, and if the action thereby appears unmotivated, then the audience will grow bored and the work will fail. It seems...
