Acerca del arte
Cómo me metí en el mundo del arte:
probably comics... though it is difficult to say... I think as I got older, reading philosophy pushed me to art.
Lo que el arte significa para mí:
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...
Mis artistas favoritos:
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...
La obra de arte más impresionante de otro artista:
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.
Mis libros de arte favoritos:
Alice in Wonderland?
need to do more research on this.
Lo que ha cambiado en el mundo del arte durante los últimos años:
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.
