I borrow the term from the flatbed printing press—‘a horizontal bed on which a horizontal printing surface rests’ (Webster). And I propose to use the word to describe the characteristic picture plane of the 1960s—a pictorial surface whose angulation with respect to the human posture is the precondition of its changed content.
post edit: Link / its a pdf. figured he was (AW). i cant post a comment yet w new system. duh.
I guess that's a pull quote, but for the record, he's dead.
I figured he was AW. That was included in the cut and paste of linked pdf page. note The Flatbed Picture Plane and Link both go to pdf although the new system doesn't stay underlined to hi light the link. hoover cursor over post to locate link.

LEO STEINBERG (1920-)
Excerpt from Other Criteria: The Flatbed Picture Plane
I borrow the term from the flatbed printing press—‘a horizontal bed on which a horizontal printing surface rests’ (Webster). And I propose to use the word to describe the characteristic picture plane of the 1960s—a pictorial surface whose angulation with respect to the human posture is the precondition of its changed content.
