Understanding this quote
The speaker describes trying to free art from the weight of the visible, objective world. The “Square” represents a move toward pure form: something defined by shape rather than by depicting ordinary objects. The wording presents this as a desperate struggle, not a casual preference, and suggests that abstraction offered the clearest escape from representation.
