On looking through old sketchbooks: 31

Sleeping Bear Dunes, Michigan, 2001

"Sketchbooks in general... seem to contain mainly studies for paintings. For me, the sketchbooks are more like a secret and wholly spontaneous jeu d'esprit and some of them I like as much as anything I have ever done. They are invariably without premeditation. I mean not only that I have no plan when I make them, I also have no plan to make them."--Robert Motherwell.
