a place to work, nothing fancy drawing Print-Friendly Version Thursday, December 19, 2002 * James Hyde: We look at paintings not to see ourselves (they function too poorly or too well to be mirrors), but in order to see how a specific circumstance of looking can reconfigure ourselves.... I think it’s an interesting painting that is interesting after you turn away from it. And it’s a beautiful one that is interesting when you turn back to it. In the end, the satisfaction of looking at painting may have more to do with the gyrations in from of it than the thing itself.... I like the idea of a non-formal art. It gives me an image that we could be moving through the world brow-deep in these objects without realizing it. We’d see them as well as someone could understand a sentence without having language.... "Painting is text masquerading as perception."... Which gesture defines the act of apprehending a painting - - stare or stance? Is the viewer the painting constructs more bi-ocular or bipedal?... If we speak of the face of a painting, if there is psychology implied, isn't "face" a verb, not a noun? Behind "face", the noun, there's a head, but as a verb, "face" is a stance and behind that, perhaps the psychology of painting. * Say...
