The best article ever
Buddhism, Landscape, and the Absolute Truth About Abstract Painting
by Chris Martin
http://www.brooklynrail.org/2005/04/art/buddhism-landscape-and-the-absolute-trut
from the beloved Brooklyn Rail
This is my favorite paragraph, for those of you too lazy to read the whole thing:
Abstract painting is the dirt that catches the sun. You can’t hold on
to it. Paintings are not facts—they are invitations to the dance. If
you stuff painting into a pillowcase you’ll only have a pillowcase full
of dirt. When we try to seize painting and fix the meaning it dies
before our eyes.
