Experimental Women in Flux @ P.S.1

Alison Knowles, Yoko Ono, and others.

After viewing the film on Seraphine de Senlis a few nights ago, I came upon this link, http://thepapercrane.com/2010/04/25/seraphine-de-senlis/, while searching for images of her work. If you haven't seen the film yet I think it is definitely worth the time. (2 hrs.+) And this link is delightful to read.

Especially meaningful to me was her use of unusual ingredients from which she made her paints.

TOLTSTOY'S "What is Art?"

(web image)

"..."Good art" has a form and content which are in unity with the ideas and feelings which it evokes or represents. In contrast, "bad art" lacks unity of form and content with the ideas and feelings which it tries to evoke or represent. "Bad art" is shallow, repetitious, crude, clumsy, contrived, melodramatic, pretentious, or banal....

According to Tolstoy, the most important quality of any work of art is its sincerity. Any true work of art expresses original thoughts and feelings. The "highest" feelings which art may express are related to religious perception."...
