The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wise people so full of doubts (Bertrand Russell).
Figures of the ideal human body and artistic anatomy, different is never wrong. Drawing the human body (every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter). My goal was to take myself out of the picture. It’s whimsical. It has wit and affection.
We are intended to be judged in a binary manner : good or bad, But, science and visual art is a culture of doubt. This means there is no gap between good and evil, between head and tail, instead we have a continuum.
Wonderment should be a desired middle state between delight and instruction.
It seems reasonable to assume that more humor leads to increased attention leads to better images. But it's not entirely unreasonable to suppose that good pictures are much more likely to be funny, in effect reversing the cause and effect.
Drawing what is naturally human, the urban human artwork, silliness radically questioned.
The body is where drawing begins, and where it ends.
Do the humorous arts still measure the gap between what is shown and what is meant? And what if provisional painting is an implicit critique of human ambition, a kind of vanitas? That feels like frosting on the cake.
Truncated lines of thought sit at the intersection of art and technology, and expand across historical timelines and into the realm of mythology.
Art does not require an explanation. Not all the abstract things smells of roses.
That feels like frosting on the cake.
When you believe in art that you don't understand, then you suffer.
A luminous, funny being, with a necessary touch of insolence.
It is not enough to be busy; so are the ants.
Henry David Thoreau
When one starts asserting that too much irony is not fair, the end is near.
