"One critic described his distorted forms and
shocking colors as the 'product of a sick mind.'
"He had talked himself into a new art. Extremities of temperament
and rhetoric had flung him far from the course on which he had
originally set out… Instead, he now walked on a distant, unknown
shore: a place without 'true' color or line; a place where hues clashed
and objects took shape unhindered by nature's narrow-mindedness." http://courtofleaves.org/images/V.jpg
