“The world was so recent that many things lacked names, and in order to indicate them it was necessary to point.”
- Gabriel García Márquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude
Translated by Gregory Rabassa
I love this passage because it captures the childlike wonder of encountering the world before we had the words to describe it. That is what I love about abstract art: form exists before language or explanation... a state of mind where objects exist as physical reality and we experience them in a timeless state.
