Description
“A painters’ painter” Robert Andrew Parker The ferocious reaction against 19th Century art that Picasso & co unleashed in the early 20th Century is needed now against the 20th Century.Just as the lead up to the First World War and the War itself defined the 20th Century, our Great Depression disaster is defining the present Century? sweeping away the fictitious values of securities and rubbishy art. The art of the new Century must, in order to reject the trivialisation of the last Century, be about gimmick-free form and structure that avoids formula. The struggle to find representational form that is not a dreary return to the past is most likely to produce radical contrast to the re-hashing of the stale devices of the previous Century.
