To loosely quote Alan Moore, we are heading in the direction of turning to vapor. Often, life follows art.. Artists feel the pulse of evolution before anyone else. This idea and Moore's can be seen in the art of the last century. It became less dense, more abstract and a celebration of light, as in the impressionists.
When reflecting on Moore's idea I recalled this drawing class homework assignment from my teen years. We were to select a photo from National Geographic. From it, work through a progression of abstraction all the way to the non-objective.
I remember feeling a transformative effect during the process. It felt, at least a bit, in line with what the great abstract artists were getting at.
We are at a time of union. Astronomers, astrophysicists, theoretical physicists, mystics, intuitives, and the teachings of the great masters are blending. The essence of viewpoint and understanding merge.
