ALBERT PINKHAM RYDER
"To summarize, Ryder's paintings represent a integrated unity of formal elements, an integration however, that is found on several levels. For him, formal balance in a two-dimensional sense, involving the unifying of figure and ground, was combined with tonal control and harmony which was complementary to his designs. The unity of Ryder's works was further enhanced by his choice of an essentially simple vocabulary, a minimum number of shapes and tones which he related to each other in a comprehensible way. In addition to these elements, Ryder's color, like that of the Old Masters, essentially embellished and enriched an underlying tonal framework." – Page 131, Alfred Pinkham Ryder Painter of Dreams by Lloyd Goodrich, 1989 Harry Abrams, Publishers, A Barra Foundation Book
