One of the mainstays of the making art is that you don't think of the new ideas, you discover them "One of the mainstays of the making art is that you don't think of the new ideas, you discover them." — Donald Sultan Black Tulips and Vase, April 5, 2014, represents Sultan's still-life, where the shape of the object is reduced to the bare essentials.
