“Two kinds of light have always drawn me.
The light of Georges de La Tour, which seems to radiate from
the painting and that reflected light which was most evident
in Turner’s imagination. From these two sources – reflection
and radiation – I have tried to achieve a kind of form in its own
discovered space, a kind of light which reveals itself from within, while the reflected element affirms itself from without.”
Paul Jenkins quoted by Albert E. Elsen in Paul Jenkins, Harry N. Abrams, NY 1973
