From: Clement Greenberg Category: Art Date: 04 March 2008 Time: 12:42 PM Review: I feel jonathan Polkest misses something fundamental when he talks of a "metaphorical -hyphen". Whatever this painter embodies, it is not metaphor. And as for the hyphen, surely empty whiteness between letters on a page is closer to the condition of a Doig, not punctuation. Doigs work is about painting itself and nothing more, Polkest is confusing literary and visual terms, as many writers do.Id suggest a clarifying dose of Immanuel Kant , Polkest, and get off the M4- you're blocking the road.
