Insisting that non representational painters must know how to draw may be more about gatekeeping than anything else. Great talk! Thanks for sharing.

This was inspiring to me, thank you for sharing it. I too, woul have loved to hear much more from all of these artists! Very nice.

I listen to those artists and it looks like they invent explanations and theories on the spot.
