"Rose Johnson was a real black negress . . . Rose laughed when she was happy but she had not the wide abandoned laughter that makes the warm broad glow of negro sunshine."
-Gertrude Stein, Three Lives (1909)
Byron Kim: Is there any "expressionism" in your text paintings?
Glenn Ligon: What do you mean by "expressionism"?
Byron Kim: I mean non-verbal communication in painting that has to do with large feelings - you know, the kind we now go to therapy for.
Glenn Ligon: When I choose a text, it's because I've had a very visceral reaction to it. The paintings are an attempt to communicate that to a viewer. It's more group therapy than individual sessions.
(Glenn Ligon, interviewed by Byron Kim, quoted by F. Simmons, 'Me and We' in Glenn Ligon AMERICA, exh. cat., Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, 2011, p. 166.)
