Could someone help me identify this (no doubt badly) paraphrased motto: The first mark on a canvas is actually the fifth
I know the original utterance belongs to an AbEx painter (I am tempted to say, Rothko, but I have no idea where that association comes from), and that Mr Conger has uttered it here on the forum. If anyone knows of a reference to it in print, I would be very grateful. Many thanks, IMAGO
