Good people are naive. They believe in justice, fairness, respect for drive and talent, and hard work. Postmodernists, by contrast, live in and act by fear and their only recourse to stave off oblivion is to have power over naive good people. We see it everywhere but it has been going on for a century in the arts (Duchamp's toilet 1917). It is a disgusting spectacle that PM'ists celebrate. And naive good people don't know what the hell hit them. By fortune and happenstance I am a good person that didn't turn away and stood my ground against the vicious and manipulative onslaught of the art world. They don't play by the same rules and naive artists try to gain footholds in the art world while the PM'ists drip oil over the ledge and snicker when good people fall and die. There is no point of common agreement, no sneaking in unnoticed, no Trojan Horse, no competition.
The other day I took my first day off in a decade from art and did nothing but slept, not sick or anything. I then re-formatted everything about my website to reflect that I am one of the most sophisticated artists alive. In Heart, Theory, and Practice the Very Best Visual Art Alternative to Postmodernism. The job of a real artist is to evolve and hopefully, their works excite the senses, imaginations, insights, lights, and knowledge of others. I am very thankful for the friends, family, and collectors that have always trusted me and my vision. #manifesto
Just posted my new tutorial Color Theory: Shadow and Depth Share the Same Color Base. Painting is a lie that helps us see more. For the moment the link is in my bio, otherwise you can find it on michaelnewberry.com. Each of these paintings has a different color for the shadow and depth: red, black, burnt umber, manganese blue, ultra marine blue, gray, and sienna. Exploring color theory extends the emotional range and visual possibilities of art. #colortheory #artlesson #spatialdepth #colorofshadows
