Gallery Philosophy
"Western civilization’s passion
for structure and explanation has separated mind from body
and emotion from the psyche , along with every other possible
subdivision. This dislocation of what is essentially interconnected
and universal has led Western man in a direction opposite
that of traditional Eastern culture and other more naturalistic
peoples. This cultural difference not withstanding, if one
were to scientifically investigate the commonalties between
various peoples, one would probably find that the differences
are vastly in the minority when compared with the incidence
of natural similarities.
Likewise, in the art world there is more commonality than
difference between modern art and tribal art, contemporary
art and German Expressionism, lithographs and oils; more shared
than disparate between ceramics and illustrated books, theatre
and music. There need be no artificial barriers between disciplines.
It is possible for a gallery, a collector or a museum to show
and enjoy a variety of seemingly disparate works because the
innate universality of elements predominates for the viewer
who is open to the river of life flowing through all of humanity’s
inspired creations.
French Impressionism started a great
cycle of change, throwing off the strictures and limitations
of hundreds, indeed thousands, of years of the Western cannon.
This change continued with Post Impressionism, Cubism, Fauvism,
and German Expressionism, to name but a few nineteenth and
early twentieth century movements. The culmination and refinement
of many of these exciting and challenging directions were
delineated in modern art, which produced a new renaissance.
Picasso, Miro, Marini, Matisse, Moore, Kandinsky, Pollock,
Rothko and a host of artists have distilled the essence of
the centuries of art that preceded ours and restated the precepts
of the classical in previously unimaginable ways, thereby
deconstructing artificial barriers that would disconnect the
past from the present, while challenging future generations
to do the same."
