"Abstraction can have a geometry that has a narrative impact - you can tell a story with shapes. It wouldn't be a literal story, but the shapes and the interaction of the shapes and colors would give you a narrative sense. You could have a sense of an abstract piece flowing along and being part of an action or activity.” #FrankStella⁠ ⁠ Frank Stella produced over 200 works of art related to each chapter of Herman Melvillle's #MobyDick.
