Mr. Keester, who has exhibited his work in many national art shows, makes the following comment on art: “Do not believe art, or if you prefer, pictures, needs explanation. If the picture is meaningless to the observer, no amount
of clever talk or written explanation will make it clearer to the viewer. A design is its own excuse for existence and unless the artist communicates with the observer in isome measure through line, form, color, or symbol, the picture is a failure.”
