[Art Ad Reinhardt ]                

                         
          

                   I like the work of Ad Reinhardt very much. At a point in my life when I wanted to find a 
                   way of seeing and a way of dealing with paint and substrate.

I went from paper to clay coted stock so the paint would not be absorbed. I painted on glass and on Anodized
 Aluminum and Clear Acrylic which I squeegeed or brushed on to the different surfaces so the Watercolor would
 adhere and dry as pure pigment.

I don’t like white paint. I let the transparency of the water color create the illusion of white pigment with
maximum brightness.

Ther are 2 painters who pant black paint on canvas as subject and two that paint white paint as subject matter..
AD Rhinart  squears in the 50's and Aldo Tambolini  circles in the 60"s...

In a way the work I did is the mechanical opposite of the painting of Ad Reinhardt.

I don’t think the term technique applies because his brush stokes and surface treatment’s appear to be just
as haphazard as a house painter or as if he was filling in an outlined geometric shape like a Sign Painter does...

                                                      "Yeah but is it Art?.."

Without painting the work there simply would be the blank canvas with the intent to paint.
It is not relevant that the actual work is the art, not the concept or the method by which it was executed,
exacted or created by it is what is to whomever views it. With whatever basic knowledge experience strength
of purpose one can bring to bear while seeing it or looking at it.

Art like gold is where you find it...

There is no thought manifest or stored in the painting the viewer that sees it can count on this fact and use
the viewing of the paintings of Ad Rerinhardt as doors or windows through which one can see a myriad of
visions because in there black

on black simplicity and merest variegation in the pattern one is catapulted with a primal force far grater than
the sum of the parts of contrast pattern balance rhythm repetition and any and all of the possible permutations
of time and space one can loose one self briefly and feel transcendent conjoined with the fictive space time
continuum, or not.

The works generate a stability a quiet calm of sorts available from no other source...

Did Al Held and others achieve the opposite, a plethora of glib chatter...

THERE IS NO SECOND PLACE

Everything in the universe has a purpose. The invisible intelligence that flows through
everything in a purposeful fashion is in all of us. It is with our thought that we create
our reality. The place where your thought comes from is some universal intelligence
out there, let's call it God. Somehow our priorities are turned inside out. We have
lost our ability to be intuitive. Think of your intuitive self as God talking privately to
you, just as you talk privately to God and call it prayer. You can hear an answer if
you believe that there is some universal intelligence out there that you are addressing.
What is important is knowing that the intelligence is there and that it is part of you
and all life. This blog is about finding the truth. I intend to find the truth. Intention is
the energy of your soul coming into contact with your physical reality. Everything about
the physical you, is a result of your intention, or how your thoughts become energized
into action. This concept of intention, of applying action to your inner pleadings, will
allow you to activate what needs to be done in order to complete the thought and make
it a physical reality. You create your thoughts, your thoughts create your intentions,
your intentions create your reality.

Note: They say "God" is all colors...
