Since we’re talking about black paintings and white paintings.

White Flag by Jasper Johns.

I wouldn’t have thought it would be called White Flag. More apt would be Dunny Wall.

That’s hilarious.

He couldn’t even do the Russian flag right … That’s more like the Dutch

There are many good art books. I have a copy of “the shock of the new”, which explains modern art but misses out postmodern art completely.

My favourite art book is “stolen, the gallery of missing masterpieces”. It’s a book about art that doesn’t exist. Art that once did exist but has now vanished. Great set of yarns, worth it both for the text, and for the photographs of masterpieces that can’t be seen anywhere else.

I was lucky enough to get to a Canberra exhibition of art from the Guggenheim, which took me step by step all the way from completely conventional representations through to Pollack. Cubism began from drawing townscapes, and then the brick-shapes became used for figure drawing as well. From representation to quick throw-away pieces, to dreams and fantasy colouring. From cubism to Kandinsky, from Kandinsky to Pollack. At each stage throwing something away, throwing away realism, then realistic colours, then describable geometric shapes, then throwing away the concept of line, delving briefly into the concept of texture.

Then with minimalism throwing away all sense of representation.

This coupled with occasional influences from commercial art: Lautrec, Warhol, Lichtenstein etc.

And disposing of canvases of even the minimalists in primativism.
