Between the Lines by Faye Fleming and Oscar Humphries

Sean Scully is one of the most important and celebrated painters of our age. For half a century, he has explored with unwavering determination the possibilities of the stripe, band, and block as abstract forms. With seemingly limitless invention, he has reconciled the aesthetic of pure minimalism with a more human and expressive approach in a quest to make meaning and content the central preoccupation of painting. In his words, he makes -abstract painting metaphorical, physical, sensual, emotional, and, above all, relational.
