Minimalism :::
A style of painting and sculpture in the mid 20th century in which the art elements are rendered with a minimum of lines, shapes, and sometimes color. The works may look and feel sparse, spare, restricted or empty.
Avant-Garde:::
A group active in the invention and application of new ideas and techniques in an original or experimental way. A group of practitioners and/or advocates of a new art form may also be called avant-garde. Some avant-garde works are intended to shock those who are accustomed to traditional, established styles.
'I am a night painter, so when I come into the studio the next morning the delirium is over. I come into the studio very fearfully, I creep in to see what happened the night before. And the feeling is one of, "My God, did I do that?".
::: Philip Guston :::
"I dream a lot. I do more painting when I'm not painting.
It's in the subconscious."
::: Andrew Wyeth :::
"If a symbol should be discovered in a painting of mine, it was not my intention. It is a result I did not seek. It is something that may be found afterwards, and which can be interpreted according to taste."
::: Marc Chagall :::
"At moments of great enthusiasm it seems to me that no one in the world has ever made something this beautiful and important."
::: M.C. Escher :::
