oh! yeah, pollock and stuff. thats kind of the opposite though. cuz there's no brushes. its weird that i cant seem to find art that actually like...*is* about brushstrokes in this sense. it seems like all the abstract expressionism and tachisme and stuff has like SHAPES! large scale shapes. which distract the eye from the texture! but you could totally do something where like, you only use one color of painting and just work it different ways across the painting, ah monochrome paintings! milton resnick is good. this painting might be about brush strokes

i think a lot of them cant be conveyed through pictures though which is cool but kind of too bad for me. ad reinhardt's stuff is neat tho

oh man alan ebnother is cool too

this is definitely about brushstrokes! (and about green)

has litfic been playing with language in an analogous way to the way autists and their adjacents on this site do? in particular i find the way people of a certain mental stripe (myself very much included!) get very fixated on delineation, on the desire to use some sort of punctuation mark to prevent ideas, phrases, etc from sloshing into each other, usually using parentheses, brackets, etc, plus the urge to escape the linearity of writing (or actually, speech, embedded in time, writing could be nonlinear) also with the parentheses, allow endless branching parentheticals? i guess this didnt really grammatically cohere into a sentence but i think you understand. are the litficcers doing this. i find the way the litficcers and especially poets play with whitespace endlessly tedious, i dont care about whitespace!!! but also my more prejudicial tendencies believe that the way people on here toy with alternate language use comes from an EXCESS of meaning to be communicated while the litficcers are much more into the form itself, thats why they got into Literature, rather than the form's capacity as a vehicle (internal volume? trunk space? very roomy. cupholders). which i guess is fine but is boring to me

a metaphor for your troubles: the fixation on form, on language that SOUNDS good rather than COMMUNICATES well is like people who do recreational math with like, stuff that's only meaningful in base ten. yknow, like those primes that have 666 in them or whatever. this is very curmudgeonly of me but i kinda look down on those people, base 10 is so obviously...not the thing we care about. studying the paintbrush instead of what you can make with it! horrid! (hmm, actually a painting that was meaningfully "about" brush strokes would be kind of cool. and i like rothkos. but i would get tired of it!!!)
