Some backstory— Outsider Art, and an obituary for Günther Förg 
in tonight's online New York Times

"Günther Förg, a German painter, sculptor and
photographer whose work exemplified, toyed with,
tweaked and commented on— sometimes all at
once— the broad artistic movement known as
modernism, died at his home in Freiburg, Germany,
on Dec. 5, his 61st birthday." 

The Log24 posts of that date, Dec. 5, are not without relevance.

when we think about that moment of discovery
and decision making— when you resolve those
important tasks."

led to a post linked to that page, among others.)

Note that the seventh square above, at top right of the array of 35,
is the same as the image in Quartet.
