Intent
Wouldn't it be fair to say that when you view the piece the artist's intent
should be apparent?Isn't one measure of a timeless artist that he has the
motivation and ability to bring his vision to reality?
Pollock's work was about interaction and spontaneity.In his better works the
viewer gets a feel for the obsession that made him abandon conventional
technique.
I've been very taken by some of the works by Asian sculptors that Bill has
kindly posted.The stone is monocromatic and the works are elementary in
nature.What draws me to them is the discipline,mastery of technique and
commitment to the stone.When I see these pieces I think"It's all about the
stone and these guys get that,completely".If this was not the artist's
intent then what would it be?
