MY VIEW POINT

Thus, for the artist the key to be able to communicate and transmit his message via a mode of expression which is most congenial to him is clarity and legibility. Thus, painting must IMPERATIVELY be figurative. In other words, an unequivocal communication accessible to all. In the last 50 years (almost), every form of visual art needs the collaboration of the writer (or art critic). Is it not a paradox thus, that the painter needs the assistance of another form of expression (literary) to express himself accurately ?

Post Impressionism, symbolism, Fauvism, Expressionism, Cubism, Futurism, Dada-ism, Surrealism, Constructivism, Structures-ism, Abstract-ism, Pop-Art, Op-Art, and Photo Realism, etc. All of this (and even more) in less than a Century !.
