In a widely noted letter of 1943 to the New York Times artists Adolph Gottlieb and Mark Rothko declared "Art is an adventure into an unkown world. . . of the imagination which is fancy-free and violently opposed to common sense."  Ancient myth and primitive art were thought to reveal universal symbols of the unconscious mind.  Only later did the concept of myth and the creative unconscious fuse with a new conception of the painting act itself.  This painting was meant to assert the boundlessness and the mystery of being.
