Pretentious Yet Pointless
``The artist is more a facilitator than an authoritarian with his materials and thus expresses `sympathy with matter'.''

| Description: |
Paradoxically,
we see the
short vertical line
symbolising
the self
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
A temporally
evolving
network,
the relationship of the spectator
of which
is always the same,
is often completely altered
by the mere presence
of the reviewer.
The viewer is drawn by the
essential identity
of the piece into
the world of contrast of the senses of smell and sight.
Contrasts of ecstasy and the joy of the flying mountain
march across
the
broad scope
of the image.
In post-impressionistic art,
the visual phenomena of the
physical
world are, in themselves, empty:
the only worthy
thing is feeling, as such.
