This is far too long.. im sorry. I think its important for anyone who appreciates their own creativity to look for ‘the new’. This can mean learning a new skill, using a different medium, learning a new program, targeting a new audience, finding a new subject matter, discovering new inspirations… Recently, i discovered the land of public domain for the first time. The crazy little collection of images contains things i would never even think to search for, old favourites i had neglected passion for and every now and then the perfect image matching the concept in my head. Public domain refers to the total absence of copyright protection for a creative work. Once in the public domain, a work cannot be removed from it. However, any variation on any public domain work becomes the property of the person making the variation, and it receives an automatic copyright, just as do completely original works. A big hunk of my creative arts education was focused on appropriation. I loved it. For me, ‘concept’ has always been more important than ‘skill’. I believe (to some extent) that skills can be developed by anyone. However, the process of developing creative concepts, is a gift. Now that i work in a more commercial profession – i have a lot of appreciation for developing skills, creative concepts and the issue of copyright. What a remarkable theory that someone can have an idea, and use something already existing to bring it to life. In support of my argument, i offer you this, the ‘icon of the international Dada movement. It took Leonardo Da Vinci God knows how long to paint her. It took Duchamp 3 seconds to turn it into something new and equally powerful. Should Duchamp be crucified for using an image created with blood and tears of someone else? I guess thats where the skill/concept idea comes in. Moustachio Lisa was reborn through Duchamp, singing a different song, to a new generation. I don’t know of anyone creative who doesn’t appreciate publicity and admiration from a new audience. It’s more than obvious in this case Da Vinci ‘owned’ Duchamp in the skills department… but props to Duchamp for giving Mona some face fuzz and creating something sarcastic, contemporary and an icon of the times. This brings me too…. t-shirts! A contemporary medium for designers, fine artists and everyone in-between to extract thoughts and ‘get stuff out there’. Combine this with the fruits of public domain and ‘boom’. Never before has making cool stuff been so easy. But since cool is so obtainable, it takes a little more thought in the concept department to become exceptional. So much so that even the prospect of making some cash requires a t-shirt designer to be pretty fricken exceptional. Putting a Varga Girl on a t-shirt, for example. Skill level: minimum. / Concept? Well.. that depends on the consumer. In my head, something old school and highly regarded slapped on a shirt is a big bowl of crazy concept. Every design is going to tell its own tale, but a Varga Girl on a $3 shirt could be making a big statement about selling out, about the pressure contemporary society puts on artists (especially those who work with young ladies), and the pressure to move to shade of the money tree. It could also be an attempt to direct some attention back to the original artist/art, create some interest and show appreciation for something extravagantly wonderful. But everyone is going to think differently. I can understand the thought process behind idea that its wrong for someone to make money out of an image that has been created with the skills and time of the original artist. This is where i think appropriation is an important concept for people to grasp. AND at the end of the day, if you disagree with someones use of a public domain image: / 1. Don’t buy what they are selling / 2. Contact the powers that be who decide what is PD and what isn’t and tell them you disagree with the usage rights of the image. / 3. Avoid making ignorant remarks about the new usage of the work. They probably aren’t the boss of public domain – therefore you can better spend your time complaining to someone more important. Kicking up a fuss will probably just make you look like a cry baby. Still need more convincing? / There is a whole universe of theories, opinion and information that i can’t even begin to understand or soak up. I think the definition of an idiot should be someone who thinks they know more than everyone else about everything, and has no idea to be open to new things. But the beauty of art and creative thinking is that we have a life time ahead of us to work it all out. There are more than enough people willing to tell me im wrong and morally corrupt, specially when it comes to something as delicate as originality, and money making. / / This is in response to a handful of remarks and mail I have received in regards to my recent dive into the PD pool. Hopefully it spells out my position on the matter clear enough. Id like to spend my time on the bubble interacting with people who inspire and encourage the community – not defending myself and answering repeat questions regarding copyright. / / • Be open minded / • Continue to question things / • No one likes a cry baby / • Be open to ‘the new’

What is Colour Field painting?

There seems to be a bit of confusion over what colour field painting is and so I will include here a posting from a discussion held in a Painters in Modern Times forum in support of Carson Collins which came up in relation to a colour field Challenge competition. The works in the challenge were mostly not colour field painting at all. Helen Frankenthaler’s painting are close to what many people think of as colour field painting – the subtle and beautiful layerings of colours that comes with the watercolour medium. Technically and stylistically Helen Frankenthaler was not a colour field painter. Frankenthaler was not a Conceptual or Minimalist artist. True colour field painting is about the formal elements of art –eg. colour and space (space meaning the stretcher itself and the depth from the wall) usually pure abstract and non-representational. / / Colour field as I understand it ‘grew out of’ Rothko’s great works, the beautiful shifting and sliding of colour clouds, deeply spiritual and moving. From Rothko and Barnet Newman followed the destructive and heady theories of Clement Greenberg. He single handedly launched and then murdered Abstract Expressionism with theories that demeaned and intellectualized any emotion or passion involved in the act of creation. Greenberg launched Pollock and Rothko to great heights and then did a back flip which pretty much destroyed the artists. Good thing art critics have no standing now. His theories developed into Conceptual Art and Minimalism and of course were in support of Donald Judd and the theory of “specific objects” which ignored the soul of art and anything connected to the human journey. I am so glad art direction moved back into the hands of the practitioners -the artists. Colour field painting never really had the spiritual heart of a Rothko. Colour field in the context of theorists does not excite the senses, it attempts to remove them! / / Ideas were stolen by the Conceptualists from the great Marcel Duchamp and Dada as well. Duchamp addressed the problem of art as decoration, as something only to be hung on the wall. To combat the problem he placed a urinal in a gallery and called it a ‘readymade’, drawing attention to the fact that pretty much any object you see is designed by an artist somewhere. In the process he also attacked the burgeoning art market exploiting artists for material gain. It annoys me that subsequent artists play with Dada as if it were just something to play with. Postmodernism dares incorrectly to be linked to the great Duchamp, when it is not, in its intent. / / Colour field is from Conceptual Art and Minimalism and it means pure fields of colour, i.e. a canvas painted black or a white on white canvas, totally removing subjectivity and colour that is emotive. Donald Kuspit understood all this and spoke up against Greenberg and his theories. Remodernism from the Stuckists was born; it was also a rejection of the shallowness and impoverishment of original ideas in Postmodernism. The idea of Remodernism was that the great period of Modernism beginning with Cezanne reached a peak with Abstract Expressionism, but the new development had not been fully explored, it was killed before it matured. Remodernism by rejecting formalism encouraged the return of spirituality and passion in art and temporarily stopped the nonsense about art being a purely intellectual and sterile exercise for the theorists. / / I applaud the silent death of art critics such as Clement Greenberg, the art critic who managed to move art away from its public and into a graveyard of elitism and lofty and highly objective theory. Greenberg in support of the Conceptualists and Minimalists gave birth to the monster by placing pure abstraction and formalism at the forefront, destroying figurative art and placing artists at odds with each other. At the same time the great period of Modernism was destroyed before it was thoroughly explored and investigated. The great model of Modernism still stands as the greatest movement in recent art and everything else stands as either a correction or an attempt to restore, revive or destroy it. Mediums have changed with the new media arts, digital arts and the moving image, but only time will tell if a ‘new’ radical revolution can grow from this – a new period as great as Modernism itself.
