HAHAHAHA IM ALIVE
For me the De Stijl work we saw is boring. I think if you reduce something so much it loses its idiosyncrasies that make something interesting. The Suprematist and Constructivists made interesting work. Dorian talked about them like it was so obvious what they were for, but for me they were a little ambiguous. Such as the kid throwing up cookies or a guy with nails in his mouth. Visually I think they were beautiful but I feel like reduced work is only good if it is in contrast with what is going on around it. So what Im saying is if everything was stark geometric shapes, everything becomes the same. Thats my story and Im sticking to it.
