I'm making this for tomorrow since it's already so late in the day. I have been reading Joseph Marioni's paper on the Specific Performance of Robert Ryman and he has pointed out something that I think every modern painter would also feel.
"The practice of modern painting implies a development of the form. Let me also make it clear that this does not mean there is a quest for an absolute or an end game to its pursuit; the development of modern painting is for clarity and full disclosure of the form itself."
You can read the entire paper of Marioni's from Paul Rodger's gallery's website at http://www.paulrodgers9w.com, there you can find it under the writings section. Be sure to check out his site too, as he show's some amazing artists.
