Hal Higdon, "Cultural Capital"; acrylic on canvas, 48" x 36"
"It is a widely accepted notion among painters that it does not matter what one paints as long as it is well painted. This is the essence of academicism. There is no such thing as good painting about nothing."
~ Mark Rothko (1903-1970)
"Art is not what we see; it is in the spaces between."
~ Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968)
"Art evokes the mystery without which the world would not exist."
~ René Magritte (1898-1967)
"Imagination is the landscape in which the artist goes for a walk."
~ Méret Oppenheim (1913-1985)
"The paintings are the shadows of my adventures."
~ Francis Picabia (1879-1953)

hehehe the cultural capital picture by hal higdon made me laugh, i wonder if he had my village in mind when he made it.
Ha! I thought it was about my town! But apparently it's a reference to some place in the universe of the Mary Worth comic strip.
God is much brilliant, dear, than you on your most brilliant of days. Let go, let God. 1-outta-1 croaks, goirl, and thar aint nthn you can do.
Lookit this to grow wise, dear; Let this be your catalyst to Seventh-Heaven:
'The more you shall honor Me,
the more I shall bless you'
-the Infant Jesus of Prague

Love him or leave him or indifferent...

If you deny o'er-the-Hillary's evil,
which most whorizontal demokrakkrs do,
you cannot deny Hellfire
which YOU send YOURSELF to.
Yes, earthling, I was an NDE:

Choose Jesus.
You'll be most happy you did.
God bless your indelible soul.
