"There is a tendency to approach a work of art and immediately set about trying to figure out what it is about. But in so doing, we break its spell." (Alice Tippit)
Visual economy and chromatic minimalism: I always had the silly thought that a series of trials and errors, simplistic reasoning will not work when it comes to evaluating painting decisions.
All art is form and all form, simplification. A simple idea, but it can get complicated to understand the power of windows as a metaphor for "all art is form" illustrations.
The brain is deeper than the sea. Lazy art, unfinished and not true art.
You can't kill what has already died, being lazy is a true art.
The true identity of puzzle pieces isn't always what we first expect them to be.
Contemporary theories think irony orchestrate this art dance. This is one of the key characteristics of the postmodern reality.
A painting, whatever else it is, is a vulnerable object enmeshed in a variety of overlapping systems.
John Yau
Form is everything, museums are the jails for art. Contemporary art formalism looks more as a significant form rather than its mere outward appearance, but it's also more hidden. The key to art creativity is to stop caring about how one looks.
1n the 1960s, formalism began to be challenged by postmodernism laziness. The creation of beauty is art, we like the mystery behind it. Formalism sees artworks as mere structures.
Antisthenes dissolves the structure of the figure to the point of abstraction, and transcends the realm of mere aesthetics beyond the surface appearance of behavior to draw inferences about an individual's mental states.
Dans les arts plastiques, le contenu et la forme sont strictement identiques, au sens philosophique du terme: le contenu est la forme.
Max Liebermann, "A propos de Manet", traduit par Christophe David
What's a color field image painted with egg tempera. Egg tempera dries quickly. Formalism means little concern of content.
Form and content feed the objective definition of art, "Anything you like" is the ground of the subjective definition of beauty. It's all about the perspective.
Formalists are obsessed with the rules of the game. Formalism lends itself well to disciplines based upon axiomatic systems. No other external truth that can be achieved beyond those given rules, being lazy is a true art.
艺术就是形式
