NOTE
"A great deal has been written about the influence of Pollock, but that is all about the look, the technique which is best known (Pollock had several). Bluhm is the only artist working in the idiom of Abstract Expressionism who has a spirit similar to that of Pollock, which is to say that he is out - beyond beauty, beyond composition, beyond the old-fashioned kind of pictorial ambition."
-- B.H. Friedman, "Young American -- Painter Norman Bluhm," Artforum, New York, April 1999
