Artist Quotes:
“Everything that conventional geometric painters have said about their works, or what people have said about them, fails to interest me. Almost everything around the surrealist gesture interests me” –Paul Brach, Radio interview with Irving Sandler, May5, 1962
“Upon my return to New York the covert landscapes became overt. These new paintings are about a dreamspace…an ideal place distanced by memories and reveries of boyhood summers on a ranch in Arizona” –Statement by Paul Brach for Lerner-Heller gallery opening, 1978
