To Tell the Truth — a title that positions the print as a claim or aspiration rather than a subject description. "To tell the truth" implies a prior context of concealment or evasion, and the commitment to truth-telling as an act that requires deliberate effort. For an artist working in abstract forms that consistently refuse literal description, "To Tell the Truth" may be a self-reflexive statement about the nature of abstract art — the claim that formal abstraction, properly understood, tells a truer truth than descriptive representation.
