"The monochrome painting is the most mysterious icon of Modern art. A rectangle of a single more or less unmodulated colour is erected on the wall at eye level and gazed at by humans standing before it in a reverential silence. What is happening?...It is the banner on the grave of the mad ambition of Modernist abstraction"

Capacity, History, the World and the Self in Contemporary Art and Criticism -
Thomas McEvilley (1996)
