“The American vanguard painter took to the white expanse of the canvas as Melville’s Ishmael took to the sea. On the one hand, a desperate recognition of moral and intellectual exhaustion; on the other, the exhilaration of an adventure over depths in which he might find reflected the true image of his identity.”
— Harold Rosenberg, writing about abstract expressionist painters in “The American Action Painters” in 1959.
