I like to imagine myself as someone in the 60s before visual arts were available everywhere and if you wanted to look at pictures of things you had to go to the library and imagine in that context what it must have been like to be a painter. In a strange way this painting of boxes captures the drama of actual paintings with figures and tricks our brains to imagine there is a composition within the patterns itself and then as you say this pattern then went on to inspire more things. Incredible to think about really and one of the reasons I like abstract and modern art despite being the type of person who would have thought "anyone could have done this" 25 years ago when I was young lol.
