David Barro /// Fade to Black or Unpublished Painting: Other Artists for the New Milenium. (vol. I) "Talking about painting is evidently not what it was. As Tierry de Duve stated, painting is no longer a technique, but a tradition (Duve, T. de: Faire ècole, Les Presses du Réel, París, 1992). Painting is an idea, probably a way of thinking about painting itself and its potential to understand the world. We might say that of painting only the term 'painting' itself remains. So, everything said about painting will be a painting in itself in that it is a manifestation of an attitude, a position that implies that the artist be continually rethinking his position and asking not only why he continues to paint but why and how to continue doing so." |
