tlc,
i just read your pompous jibberish about art. my first impression is that its just the rantings of an arrogant a-hole. re-reading makes me wonder how you can cite cezanne on your profile, yet be so philosophically in conflict with him.
art is truth, all your other dribble is horse manure. cezanne said if you were to gaze out your window and pick a leaf from a tree, render the leaf so 'realistic' that , side by side, you could not tell nature's leaf from your painting of a leaf.....it would only take the wind to blow by to ascertain the 'truth'. the wind would take nature's leaf and blow it away, yet, your painting of the leaf the wind would have absolutely no effect on. what does that tell the artist? it tells him that a painting of a leaf has absolutely nothing to do with a leaf. picasso went on further to say if you were to have an oval, and one end of the spectrum the oval was an egg, and at the other end of the spetrum it was a head. picasso said the egg meant nothing to him, the head meant nothing to him, only the area in the middle where one was not sure if it was an egg or an oval was important to him, because at that place it was liberated from nature and a true creation of the artist, the artist creates as god and nature does . art is truth, the sun doesn't 'intend' to rise, or calculate exactly how to reflect from the waves. how does one "communicate" the song of a bird? you're mad ! yet you wish to paint with "good intentions" to "communicate" something grand? lolol !
your slant on history is also laughable, the 'hip' always refer to japanese prints because philosophically the are valid, the japanese artists never destroyed the integrity of the flat 2 dimensional canvas. we can cite this, if we want to bore the crap outta everyone with academia, that path will lead us to hans hofmann and his ideas about reproducing the 4 dimensional universe on a flat 2 dimensional surface...but your posts tells us you would snuff the abstract expressionists and how they worked, spontaneously!, in fact , according to your bafoon ideas about art, you would find hofmann, muddy waters, jack kerouac, andre' breton, dekooning, debuffet, jean genet, babe ruth, michael jordan, muhammad ali, not worthy of the title 'artist'....your rantings are sophmoric....if a beautiful poem was written in italian, and i couldn't read it, it only means i must learn italian you bufoon! are you saying cubism is worthless because one can't 'read' it? when a goof like you critiques me, it is harmless...you do it for your own psycological reasons i would guess....when you can't understand the analogy about obsessive/compulsive behavoir and how it manifests in different ways for different people, i forgive you because you are speaking out your a*s. , btw, i suggest you read jean genet if you care to see how one makes poetry out of murder & murderers...are you saying genet wasn't an artist either? lol !
in the end, art is only one thing,' truth'. for all your good intentions, your canvas will laugh at you as the bird outside your window sings so beautifully & the river flows along so effortlessly. your canvas will laugh at you because with all your great "intentions" and great "communication" ....you can only produce pretentious abstractions (lies) that communicate to all how far removed from an 'artistic' expression you are.
