JIMMY ERNST (1920 - 1984)
Black on Black

...I am not entitled to say what his best painting was, although I have my favorite - a triptych, black on black, executed so meticulously that the paint might have been laid on by a jeweler using a magnifying glass.  I will dare to say that his spiritual masterpiece was to live without hating anyone - to forgive no one, since there was no one to forgive.
