Art21 proudly presents an artist segment, featuring Robert Ryman, from the "Paradox" episode in Season 4 of the "Art in the Twenty-First Century" series.
"Paradox" premiered in November 2007 on PBS.
Robert Ryman does not use assistants and prefers to work alone. Using white paint on square forms, he creates works such as Philadelphia Prototype, highlighting the subtle nuances of a surface and exploring the role that context and perception play in a visual experience.
