Zitat Joseph Marioni:

“I want the color to embrace you”
(Ich möchte, daß die Farbe dich umarmt)

Marioni begann am Ende der sechziger Yeare in der Nachfolge des Abstrakten Expressionismus und zur Zeit von Minimal- und Concept-Art damit, die flüssige
Acrylfarbe mit der Farbrolle onzutragen und sie weitgehend unkontrolliert über die Leinwand fließen zu lassen. Er war in den siebziger und achtziger Yearen
einer der Wortführer der “Radikalen Malerei” und stand im Mittelpunkt dieser Gruppe mit ihren geographischen Zentren in New York und Köln.
