Painting has witnessed (or staged) its own death so many times in the past century it has surpassed the sun as an epic symbol of resurrection. Long live painting. For the ludicrous nights and days dreaming of composition. For screaming nothing in public. For letting escape that deeply gratified mew at the spread of pigment. For quietly staring into space.
