Despite its architectural inspiration, the painting is fundamentally a record of the artist’s instinctive feelings rather than a specific image. As Goldberg once stated, “Art making is like being badly sunburned: you’re peeling, you’re trying to get the layers of the world off you to get to yourself.” --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS --- IMAGES
