“The compositional idea of the plaids was to interweave vertical bands with horizontal ones so that the whole surface is laced together...the interlace is a way to relate distant parts, to give pictorial continuity across a flattened surface. Everything is kept frontal, and the layout suggests openness and encourages the spreading of attention, taking the whole at a single glance.”
-Kenworth Moffett, Kenneth Noland, New York, 1977, p. 74
