“In art intentions are not sufficient and, as we say in Spanish, love must be proved by deeds and not by reasons. What one does is what counts and not what one had the intention of doing.” -Pablo Picasso
What is the difference between painting and a painted object? Are they the same or different? To blur the line, to dissolve the difference… Mark Rothko is a good example of one who perhaps sees the painted object as painting itself. Perhaps good paintings are like this, but maybe not. And perhaps some painterliness displayed is enough.
I enter without looking…with or without a motive? an idea?
