abstraction

There's nothing more or less to art than the same old glorification of the artist, the self-glorification of someone who thinks he's doing something selfless when what he's doing is making a sign of the self, the exact opposite.

Abstractionists especially dwell in the absolute of the unresolved, putting the pressure on the viewer, as Duchamp said was proper, the viewer being as much the maker of the art as the maker. In this regard, no art is ever new, it is simply an image tossed back and forth between two makers, both of them ultimately unclear as to the meaning of what's been made.
