关于艺术
我如何跨入艺术之门:
probably comics... though it is difficult to say... I think as I got older, reading philosophy pushed me to art.
艺术对我的意义:
It means... an obsession I have to feed...a way to express the parts of my life that would otherwise turn into a weird psychosis... a beautiful and transcendental experience... a method of critically thinking and perceiving the world... a path whereby I can grow and expand... a method of holding and exposing secrets...
我最喜爱的艺术家:
I think this changes so often... I am kind of identyfying with Neo Rausch but only somewhat... I love a great many historical painters... have a special fondness for Max Beckman... but it seems that everytime I see good Art, I feel that in some weird, maybe even slight way, I like it.
I have a fondness for the more bizarre medieval paintings and illuminated manuscripts... as well as the work of William Blake. I could go on forever...
其他艺术家最打动我的一件作品:
too hard to answer... I was really impressed years ago when I saw a Max Beckman retrospective... his large triptychs were burned into my mind forever.
我最喜爱的艺术书籍:
Alice in Wonderland?
need to do more research on this.
近年世界艺术的变化:
Well, I am told that we are in the age of Pluralism... that painting has regained some level of importance and is now sitting comfortably along with installation, performance, sound, etc...
And it seem that you can find almost anything. I think one major change, a change that saddens me, is that people have lost their taste for tragedy... and irony has replaced it.
