The Last of the Avant - Garde Painters

Who knows who the painter is, who represents the last of the
avant - garde of the abstract art movement of the 20th century?

Who knows why we had the abstract art movement of the 20th century?

What if I told you, that I'm the only one who knows the answers to
these questions. The reason why I know the answers is based on the
fact that I'm the last painter of this movement, and I became enlightened.
For another individual to learn and know the answers, it will require them
to acknowledge me and my accomplishment and become enlightened.

From my perspective, the whole history of the abstract art movement
can be looked back at and the artists who made a contribution can be
recognized.


I would have to say that Jackson Pollock was the last painter, before
me, to make the greatest contribution to the movement. He works reflect
his ability to take the discipline of painting to the furthest point of departure
from the painting of an object. The ability he had is reflected in the purity
of his compositions. An artist has to be pure, to be able to reflect it.

Jackson Pollock's contribution was a part of the collective consciousness.
There were other painters, who were on the same wave, who deserve,
relatively, the same credit.


Mark Rothko was also able to reflect the purity, through the minimal
use of form.
