they said, in a world as fucked up, as destroyed, as INSANE as the world seemed to everyone during the long ass world war we choose to divide up into world war one and two, making art in the old "normal" manner, base d on the old masters and seeking to portray the "beauty" of the natural world was fucking childish and stupid and just as INSANE as the world they lived in.
they wanted to reach beyond the art history of the sick and twisted world and get right to the core of painting, the core of art, which is sensory exhiliration.
