I am constantly hearing about the concept of a contemporary painting. In a postmodern world, does such a thing exist? A sound approach to painting in today's world would be to have a greater understanding of history. De Kooning built of off Picasso (Broke through with excavation), Rembrandt, Rueben, Gorky and who knows whom else. Name a great painter who did not take this approach. Even the conceptual demigod Duchamp finished his life with the creation of a modeled object. As creative people, I feel it would do the world a great justice to build off of the four corners of the world that have created paintings and sculptures for at least the last twenty thousand years. People let’s start pushing the image.
