Hale Woodruff was a black artist who sought to express his heritage in
his abstract painting. Of his artwork he said: "I think abstraction is
just another kind of reality. And although you may see a realistic
subject like a glass or a table or a chair, you have to transpose or
transform that into a picture, and my whole feeling is that to get the
specatator involved it has to extend that vision" . . ." (Herskovic 358)
