This catalogue accompanies an exhibition held at the Asian Arts Institute, New York featuring Benny Andrews, Raphael Soyer, Chiu Ya-Tsai, and Martin Wong.
'The exhibition, "The Mind's I," seeks to demonstrate the special relationship that an artist may have with his or her individual vision. This vision is perceived as transcending the exigencies of formalistic considerations, and touching on more metaphysical concerns that concern an artist's own entity and existential presence in the larger cosmos. That this group of artists represents decidely disparate ethnic presences implies that their national, religious and biological origins would somehow feed into the content of their art, and guide its preoccupations in a more direct way.' - from catalogue essay by Lowery S. Sims
