I feel another Carol Nazi comparison coming on... here we go again.

d'oh. I certainly hope not to be the stem of such inane discussion

in more directly CCP related news, I christened my CCP bottle opener necklace with a fresh bottle of Sam Adams Octoberfest this evening

the reference to actionism is the only one, i think, that we can take as explicit and almost 'official' given the presentations etc.

but why 'arbitrary' interpretation? it might be motivated, even if it is not taken from an official declaration of the man, don't you think?

I mean arbitrary as opposed to official. I'm referring to what I wrote about schiele long ago, not anyone else.
and it was not good enough itself. it was just one "formal" view and guess at the thing that has its outside so prismatic and its inside with some depth.

no time to elaborate, just materials, and this is not always true, but distortion, deformation, etc could be said to be connected with libido, sexual one, caused by the tension between reality and desire/dream, or nature and imagination (eg S/S 07). a kind of "anamorphoses ou perspectives curieuses", dasein vs sosein.








a ladder (well-known symbol of sexual libido) and deformed trousers

I hope you're not implying that the trousers look like a penis as well... I pray no one's bits are shaped that way. At least when erect, lol. Drastic "curve penis" disorder, lol. they can fix that you know.

the above couple of posts worth of exchange are probably one of the most affirming examples of why this forum is a worthwhile place to spend one's time.

thank you b, & runner.

Sorry Merz, I may have ruined the good post track record we were having. care to retract your statement, lol.

[crouka]

ahh no
nice to see your reflection

The gang-sign hands in Schiele are visual analogues of the deformations of the Poellian glove:

Beyond the mexi-syndactyly-macropodidae reference stack (pile-up), gloves could never not be Christic given the iconographic over-determination of hands in the (Western) sculptural/pictorial tradition – thus any deformation of the ‘natural’ (a standard Poellian trope) is reappropiated as anguish, passion etc. Pushed in the other direction towards folded elegance (de-naturalisation as proportional idealisation and the ironing-out of flaws) and even beyond into a mannerist disproportioning, stretching, flattening etc.), you would still end up in the episcopal. This refamiliarisation can probably be read into any Mannerist/Expressionistic CCP analogue.

Do people actually sit with a thesaurus next to them when writing posts. I understand the need to move beyond the tedious sizing questions, but wtf is everybody going on about.

[Peasant]

Seriously.. shit is hilarious.

Ok.....so this is what it feels like to be that only idiot who didn't get the joke. My bad.
This is what happens when my day is filled with financial meltdown and my evening is filled with handy manny, fireman sam and the teletubbies. Throws you somewhat off balance.

poell's doing it wrong though.
