Quote by Jerry Saltz
I also take pleasure in the so-called negative power in Grotjahns

I also take pleasure in the so-called negative power in Grotjahns work. That is, I love his paintings for what they are not. Unlike much art of the past decade, Grotjahn isnt simply working from a prescribed checklist of academically acceptable, curator-approved isms and twists. – Jerry Saltz

Its not that art should be seen only in rutty bombed-out environments, but it should seem alive. – Jerry Saltz
