It was not then a reaction against anything, so much as a natural and instinctive development of what had gone before. The art predated and will postdate Britart, because, unlike Britart, it is the true mainstream evolution of Modernism, which itself is struggling to fuse Mediaeval and Renaissance art. Stuckism achieves that effortlessly.Charles Thomsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12959318724999951234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355717446968368001.post-29980521804092195982013-01-07T10:48:43.387-05:002013-01-07T10:48:43.387-05:00I can't say as I disagree with anything you...I can't say as I disagree with anything you've written. In fact, that's pretty much what I said, perhaps a bit more well put, coming from inside, the rather than outside, and an ocean away. Art is like a living creature breathing, in and out, expanding and contracting. The Stuckist contraction of the resperatory art definition was/is both inevitable and healthy. In my book, Art Think (available soon from Amazon) and it's e-book version, Learning to Think Like an Artist, I liken this to a kind of a back and forth tug-of-war.<br /><br />Thanks for your intelligent comment.Jim Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05882369817190401530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355717446968368001.post-31090452239835768972013-01-07T09:53:34.984-05:002013-01-07T09:53:34.984-05:00Stuckism is more forward than a swing back.

It recognises we now have opportunity, and the idea of trying to seperate the conceptual from art, is an attempt to build another wall. Stuckism doesn't rebel against the artistic values modernism established, just because there's no oppression left to rebel against. Postmodernism wants to be seen as radical, so much so, that it forgot about the art. Stuckism looks back, and sees how figurative painting in particular has proved such potential for artistic expression, and how conceptual art has proved to be a waste of time. It's not a popular thing to say, but someone has to say it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
