Ted Argeropoulos

Ted Argeropoulos, the youngest member of THE FIVE [a group of five abstract artists of which she was a member], a gifted, prolific painter with high hopes and plans for his life as an artist, my dear friend Ted… was suddenly dead. I looked at the painting I had been working on for our exhibition, looked at the sky-blue undulations moving forward and backward and in deep sorrow and rage I mixed a flat, dead gray in one of my mixing bowls and slashed it across the blue—suppressing the illusion of volume, of movement, of aliveness.
