FLUXLIST: Painting

[Aaron Kimberly]

Hi Everyone,

I'd enjoy hearing your comments about painting. I recall seeing a set of
paintings at the Whitney over a year ago of "Divas". The commentary called
into question whether painting is still a living language or
historical/sentimental like 'opera'. Perhaps Baudelaire would agree that
painting is no longer the ideal vehicle for engaged metaphors of modern
life. Yet, there remains the compulsion to paint. Do we risk irrelivance?
What do you think?
