Art Philosophy

The saying goes,
"A beautiful painting is simply residue that remains after the artist has left.”
Amidst moments time, passion moves one to create, definite or indefinite.
Out of a soul in flight comes true art: a floating melody on string, a myriad of colored paint on canvas, affectionately chosen words for a poem, or, a body in rhythmic motion.
Like mercurial, always moving, never in the same place, fluid by the mere nature their soul,
the artist visits, without notice, the blankness. Only briefly now, they discover time and again
the beauty that hides there in the void today.
Tomorrow, it will be somewhere else.

The Paths of Painting

Paths of Painting – down thru history



Stage 1: Early art (classic): Clarity – Formality - Precision

Stage 2: Impressionism: Obscurity – Informality - Imprecise

Stage 3: Modern: Expressiveness – Vitality – Flux

Group one represents the dominance of good appearance.

From there each group gives way to the next development.

Some authors claim that from the very earliest times

all forms of art have been destined to demonstrate those

classifications consistent with that abstract and artistic

freedom we find in a POSTMODERN stage 4, which we

confuse today with a title Contemporary Art.
