It began to worry. Painters stopped simply doing what they were doing and started spending more and more time trying to figure out what they were doing and why. They got into the "What Is?" question. "What is Painting?", "What is Art?" "What Is…?"</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.thesmartset.com/article/article08200702.aspx"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.thesmartset.com/img/CA64413B-3399-41C1-AAAC-B7A309EFBF35" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.thesmartset.com/article/article08200702.aspx"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.thesmartset.com/img/3C48E8A2-93E8-4EF4-B955-DAC4A9610969" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.thesmartset.com/article/article08200702.aspx">Acknowledge death, move on. The answer that the book thus gives to the question “What is Painting?” is simple and clear.

There is nothing more to be said, because that movement and that ideology is dying or already dead. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.thesmartset.com/article/article08200702.aspx"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.thesmartset.com/img/37368CF1-CE00-4D41-A9A3-9ED29687DDA6" alt="" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/8D6DADF7-F733-427C-9BBD-A1E001B1DABD/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
