Below is an Essence Portrait of Rembrandt created according to the tenets of radically new Twenty-first century Post Conceptual and Ungraven Image Art theory by me, Judy Rey Wasserman. If you are familiar with Rembrandt’s work ( and Also the above mentioned artists) , I bet you can see their influence, although this work is fully contemporary as it uses symbols for every single stroke.
Many of my paintings have “frames” painted around the image area, especially the paintings in the Genesis: Sunrise-Sunset series, which deals with how the physical universe is created (both theologically and scientifically) and then how we personally perceive that reality.
There are two basic kinds of portraits, whether the artist creates a hand drawn or painted work, a sculpture or a photo. When a portrait combines both types of portraiture we recognize it as great art.
Andy Warhol proclaimed that each person would have 15 minutes of fame. He also strove to remove the handmade quality of art, trying to make it mechanical, in part reflecting the popular media images of his society. I doubt he ever conceived that everyone could have an opportunity to be an artist for 15 minutes, but due to today’s advances in technology it is.
Using symbols for strokes to create visual imagery, Post Conceptual Art closely emulates both cutting edge scientific and ancient spiritual truths.
Art is humankind’s way of showing truth. Artistic truth may be profane or sacred or both. The best art reveals an understanding of truth that is not blatantly obvious, until through the artist’s hand it becomes so. From the cave art of the shamans to current day Conceptual and now the new Post Conceptual Art, the work of the artist has been to convey truth visually.
Months ago, when I learned of ArtHamptons (ironically through a link at artnet.com to a small banner ad), and I saw the roster on then signed galleries, I thought that having a cornucopia of museum quality art residing in the Hamptons seemed like a wonderful addition to my own birthday weekend. The opportunity to write for Bill Fine and artnet.com is the scrumptious birthday cake with ice cream (with no calories or fat!).
ArtHamptons brought to the Hamptons what had always seemed almost unimaginable to me when I was a teenager enjoying summers in the Hamptons. Although I was busy riding my bike, swimming and painting and drawing on my own but missing the museums and galleries and art classes I enjoyed back in the city. Although the Hamptons now has good Modern and Contemporary galleries and the museums, especially the Parrish and Guild Hall, bringing Hirschl and Adler, Will Barnet and the Wally Findlay Gallery under one roof was a bit like bringing my artistic girlhood to the Hamptons.
Happy Birthday Rembrandt!
