Philosophy and Painting

And reading Meyer Shapiro, 'World View in Painting -Art and Society" telling me everything I know just so much less studied or organized yet than he. MMMM mmmm..here is he mostly: style:worldview, mode of thought, metaphysical system.

The comparison with philosophy depends on a special view of both painting and philosophy, which makes painting a type of knowledge (a know ledge an edge) and the philosopher's thought an expressive physiognomy of a thinker.

form, matter, space, nature, value, valid, real, order, structure, essence, logic, unity, sign, meaning, symbol, truth...shared discourse

reflecting on what is. the times.

an expressive personal dimension that enters into the content of thought.

Goethe on style, wrote many individual forms of movement should have something to tell us about the world process: and every painting, every poem, becomes a miniture condensation.

macro in the micro or for 2D expression reversal.hmmm

Joshua Reynolds" The great Painter addresses the mind and the heart, not the eye." I imagine this is what Our Teacher Roger Tibbetts was getting at when he said "it doesn't matter what it looks like" in hi formalist, pragmatist dare I say logician of a painter- self.
