Blue Paragraph 1960 24 x 21 Allan Stone Collection (no photo). From 1977 handwritten list titled Allan Stone has following paintings.
I am interested in lined paper, and prepared a canvas by painting it a thick dull white. It looked like the color of plaster. I divided the vertical canvas into two-inch horizontal lines, leaving a six-inch space at the top. With a push-pin on the right side of the stretcher, I tied a string, soaked it in blue oil paint, pulled it to the left, in line with the two-inch measurement, and, holding it tight, plucked the string so that it shot an uneven slightly splattered horizontal line. This I repeated every two inches until the canvas looked like a page of blue-lined paper.
