"Cruz-Diez...was able not only to conceive a distinctive way of painting with color in space and t.mes , but also to unlock a Utopian dimension for this devalued medium. To wit: color that is physical and immatieral at the same t.mes ; color as pure and sensuous pleasure; color as agent that dissolves bodies and volumes in space; color as a participatory, interactive experience open to everyone, regardless of age, class, or social standing."
