Background Image
Space expands or contracts in the tensions and functions through which it exists. space is not a static, inert thing. space is alive; space is dynamic; space is imbued with movement expressed by forces and counterforces; space vibrates and resounds with color, light and form in the rhythm of life.

Space Expands Or Contracts In The Tensions

Hans Hofmann
Space expands or contracts in the tensions and functions through which it exists. space is not a static, inert thing. space is alive; space is dynamic; space is imbued with movement expressed by forces and counterforces; space vibrates and resounds with color, light and form in the rhythm of life.

In less than a century we experienced great movement. the youth movement! the labor movement! the civil rights movement! the peace movement! the solidarity movement! the women's movement! the disability movement! the disarmament movement! the gay rights movement! the environmental movement! movement! transformation! is there any reason to believe we are done?

How can there be methods and systems to arrive at something that is living? to that which is static, fixed, dead, there can be a way, a definite path, but not to that which is living. do not reduce reality to a static thing and then invent methods to reach it. ...truth has no path. truth is living and, therefore, changing. it has no resting place, no form, no organized institution, no philosophy. when you see that, you will understand that this living thing is also what you are. you cannot express and be alive through static, put-together form, through stylized movement.
Philosophy Reality Together
Color is a plastic means of creating intervals... color harmonics produced by special relationships, or tensions. we differentiate now between formal tensions and color tensions, just as we differentiate in music between counterpoint and harmony.
Mean Color Creating
Greek architecture taught me that the column is where the light is not, and the space between is where the light is. it is a matter of no-light, light, no-light, light. a column and a column brings light between them. to make a column which grows out of the wall and which makes its own rhythm of no-light, light, no-light, light: that is the marvel of the artist.
Wall Artist Light
The rhythm is below me, the rhythm of the heat. the rhythm is around me, the rhythm has control. the rhythm is inside me, the rhythm has my soul.
Art Media Soul
Just as counterpoint and harmony follow their own laws, and differ in rhythm and movement, both formal tensions and color tensions have a development of their own in accordance with the inherent laws from which they are separately derived. both, however, aim toward the realization of the same image. and both deal with the depth problem.

Yeah, i did see where the people dissing me were coming from. but, it's like, anything that happened in the past between black and white, i can't really speak on it, because i wasn't there. i don't feel like me being born the color i am makes me any less of a person.
