The beauty of NOTHING--the blank canvas

I have studied and studied

the masters for years

for thousands of hours

and rivers of tears

to unlock the genius

of Renaissance light

Ive worked through the day

and on through the night

the Gordion knot

I tried hard to cleave

hoping one day these obsessions would leave

Ten thousand paintings

bled from my hands

in hopes that one day I would half understand

the mind of DaVinci

or at least Raphael!

To break free the world from its postmodern hell

but alas I have failed

or maybe ive not

For now I know nothing

and this is a lot.

I have embarked on a series of blank/ unpainted canvases..pure unwashed/ unmarred genius (save my glorious signature) Modernism requires no skill but it does require Darwinian Genius and Nothingness and marketing..Modern art is like an energy drink for the soul. The shark of genius lies rotting in a tank form-malda-hyde in the same museum as Velasquez! This inspires me to nothing and to blank canvases..Leonardo would understand, of this I am most sure!

My first unpainted work is called "Woody Allen and Sun Yi strolling up first ave followed by the ghost of Genius"

It is already sold but I shall unpaint three more canvases today! Fear not thy reader, there will be more...

VIVA MODERNISM
