Abstract
This cluster introduces image qualities we have not yet seen: bold execution and a flowing process. The images here are notable, that is, for their idiosyncratic handling and for the emotional response which they stimulate in the viewer (with these characteristics defining their boldness), and for the sense that their forms move diffusely within the frame (with these qualities, as well as with the unhesitating and fluid process by which the images had been constructed, defining their flowing-ness). It is as if the images had something to say—something immediate and direct, said without hesitation or perhaps with the certainty that it could be said.
