Lot Essay

“My pictures are full of climates, abstract climates, and not nature per se. But a feeling. And a feeling of an order that is associated with nature, nature in seasons, maybe; but nature in, well, an order. I think art itself is order out of chaos, and nature is always fighting the same battle.” Helen Frankenthaler
