Most art symbols are worn-out clichés that have outlived their usefulness, art however resists categories.
Ornament is crime (Adolf Loos, again).
Simplicity is not minimalism. The art of drawing is the art of omission.
Max Liebermann.
Artwok just can't figure whether it's the chicken or the egg. Symbols make art to make sense of the world, expressionism is an eggcorn.
Don't believe everything you think.
Art is not a tool, it is another way of thinking. Artists who seek perfection in everything are those artists who cannot attain perfection in anything.
Everything is a sign, because pictures think the art world is real.
Adolf Loos
The choice of motif was also of decisive importance. In addition to being insignia, they were believed to bring wealth, happiness, health and longevity to the wearer.
Official art scene is basically a business of cheating.
How artspeak became the language of science. Ever since art ceased to be mainly decorative, works have often been shown with a ladle of rhetoric.
People need art. Art is in the hands of too few people.
Signs of art are immaterial, while giving no indication as to whether this is a good or bad thing. No artwork is by definition hypermodern.
The art sign may reveal a view of an hidden picture that reads as a separate drawing. Live forever or die in the attempt. Sgraffito, both as natural phenomenon and as cultural metaphor, is the subject of a painting.
It feels like finding a unicorn, talisman recipes from an authentic apocryphal book. This is clearly creating a sense of wonder and whimsy and a problematic situation.
We need art models and scientific models, but there is no one paradigm for art making. The dictionary defines paradigm as a pattern or model (life model?).
Absurdity breaks with fate. Symbols for humor are notoriously bad at math. Communications skills are a funny thing. Art has no purpose in mind.
How come nobody noticed art is life? Can a tendency to substitute means for ends be a method? Theoretical models for artists can never fully represent the total complexity of the real ancient-modern world. Beautiful is complicated.
Drawing of the unknown. How could this boring, noisy and confusing image appear in one of the world's leading artsy journals? It's a question which is regularly asked in the business world, but never answered. I'm a work on paper myself in the universe of contemporary craziness. Ancient-modern symbols don't like change.
A boundary-straddling felt pen whose work problematizing the notion of a picture has carved out new dimensions in art theory, telling that a good painting is a dead painting.
This freshness of the sketch that unfortunately almost always lost in paintings.
成品画失去了新鲜感
Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself; in your way of thinking (Marcus Aurelius).
People used to see slowing down as a snail idea, there's nothing you can do about it. Fine art is hard to move quickly.
We remember what we want to remember. Style and artistic voice is created from repetition, and it gets louder and clearer. Why did cool artworks come to be the game you had to play to make it in the world of art?
Each simple image is a narrative that tells a story full of absurdity and uncertainty. Knowledge about statistical power is power.
The fewer things a bluebird of happiness tries to say, the more powerfully it says them. Slow down. Do one thing at a time. Have no fear of perfection, you will never reach it.
Salvador Dali, Good pictures knew anything was possible and life is too short.
The vast majority of people don't care about logic or evidence that contradicts their opinions. That's the fun of humanity, otherwise we'd make no art and such.
However the proposed pictures are downright silly and do little to get at the root cause. They are the damsel in distress and you have been cast as the dragon.
Amazing how such a small event can become such a life changing experience. Great stories are not all that interesting in general unless something actually absurd happened.
A potentially toxic blend of influences that can create an opportunity to understand the relationship between evolving forms oscillating between life and nonlife.
This picture went against conventions at a very young age and left its comfort zone.
It had been claimed that a scientific theory of visual arts is not possible because human behaviors do not follow predictable patterns.
All we have so far is theories.
