I’ve been playing with the concept of writing adds to visual artwork, either in the form of titles, surrounding text (in the case of illustrations), or artist statements. Often the title feels like a placeholder: e.g. “Abstract No. 1.” In these cases, I’m left with the feeling that the title merely exists for the art catolog, rather than for the viewer. A notable exception is Paul Kee’s Two Men Meet, Each Believing the Other to Be of Higher Rank (1903)
