“I believe that there are varying points of contact. You have to be able to see the whole thing first. All great paintings are sculptures – there’s so much of the actualness about it that a great painting forces you into a visual physical movement of yourself. That’s what determines the way you experience a painting kinetically. You move closer, you sight down it, you tilt your head, you step back, you feel as though you are in it. That being in it is just as important as looking from a distance.”  Kenneth Noland
