In her biography of Federico Garcia Lorca, the author, Leslie Stainton, quotes Lorca as saying that he wanted his plays “steeped in poetic language and imagery, but grounded in physical and emotional fact”.
Paintings traverse the same ground. There’s a great tension and contradiction between the sheer physical presence of a painting, of its ‘thereness’ and the gathering together of all the amorphous strands of thought and feeling that go into the forming of images.
