A contradiction between an idealist point of view and the mundane decorative side of art. Contemporary drawing is about big ideas as concepts built on a theoretical framework constructed on the contempt of crafts.
There was never any apology for that.
Easier said than done.
A haiku is a Japanese seventeen-syllable poem
Objects are simple,
There is no hippopotamus in this page at present,
If you were to squeeze Ludwig like a lemon,
You would get nothing more out of Wittgenstein.
There’s little in the way of doodled, simple proof, so it must be true.
Theodor Ardorno
The true language of art is speechless and phatic.
In the case of some contemporary artists, Jeff Koons is in that category, the use of assistants is a political gesture critiquing uniqueness.
