What is Painting?
What is
Painting?
The funny
thing is that I am better off saying nothing because
it is undefinable.
But having a mouth and fingers becomes a liability
sometimes so I will give it a try.
The easiest thing to explain is What is NOT painting.
So here is a short list:
Painting is not sculpture but I guess on some level
it does have dimension.
Painting is not Drawing yet I am positive I could
have a fine argument over that one.
Architecture is definitely not painting.. I think
this one might slip by although architects readily
point out the lyrical and painterly aspects of their
work and the light.
This return to light seems to come up all the time
when trying to figure it out
So can a blind person paint? I am sure quite a lot of
people would say that modern art was painted by blind
people.
How about his is a painting a movie? here we might
stumble upon a reasonable no way. How foolish I can
be since the directors will certainly disagree.
This can go on an on...
