I find that it is and always will be a very important discussion because all artas I understand it has to do with experience and human experience is multidimensional and it will always interweave socalled objective and subjective dimensions. Seen from an art practical viewpoint - our materials are very much there as physical objects but we use them to create form and something we want to make visible - something that can be experienced.
I think that any figurative impression also might have many abstracted dimensions like Music that is about tone, rhythms and atmosphere and feeling - all art is somehow showing us that there is nothing subjective without elements of socalled objective but also no objective without dimensions of the subjective - art is a multidimensional "language" of - its adding-thinking-feeling communicating -

"Maybe this stuff deserves a second look ...?' Certainly. A fascinating series of videos that demonstrate the New York School of the 40s and 50s was artistically broader than the selective gaze of the dominant critical force of that time, Greenburg, would have us believe. That said, Dore Ashton's book The New York School remains the best guide I know that reflects the diversity of artistic expression that others have chosen to past over.

Anton! Thank you for your kind comment. Today our life is all about concept and cognition. Feeling, emotion, empathy are the signs of the past. I hope that we will still continuing to care for each other.
