alexander cozens





now here is something a friend of mine showed me. i used to think art-history was driven by 'inventions.' complete original thought. kind of what you would expect of a marcel duschamps.
this friend dropped a name i hadn't heard before. in a discussion we had about american-expressionism. i claimed, at the time, that it was 'original.'
re-invention of painting and such. the things they teach you (and me) in artcollege.
enjoy these alexander cozens drawings, sketchings, paintings.

it does not prove this claim made by alot of artstudents i've come acros. 'you can't be original, so don't even try.'
it actually supports the idea of originality. but, as we both concluded in that discussion, almost 4 years ago. originality is something you obtain by working hard, and knowing what you are doing. originality is pushing the boundaries of your craft

landscape



this is the last post for the day
automatov petrov has been quite enthousiastic,
but i need some moderation in posting these things
this is a tiny landscape, painted slightly bigger then a postcard.
influences are, i suppose, per kirkeby and some sketches of courbet
