Mel Ramsden, one year before the creation of Art & Language, quips on dear abstract painting to Clement Greenberg. This cycle of abstract painting (Abstract Painting), uses the bivalence of the word "abstract" in English. By painting on the monochrome canvas, the same components of paint, it returns the painting to his material status, but it also makes an "abstract"; in the sense that it can take in works of philosophy or literature reviews and we could result in "extract" or "Summary".
