Does mail-art count as a new art movement? Or is it already one of the older art movements.

I'd think the fact that so many artists meet and converse online is a highly signifigant movement of our time. Never before in the history of the world have artists enjoyed this level of interaction with out having to leave their homes.
So online Art Forums are a form of art movement in my book.

Care to further explain how an exchange of ideas and theories constitutes 'Art'? I can see where you're coming from, but to make it a relevant art movement there would need to be a resulting congruence of style. Maybe you have some examples? |

This following message reached us by email: Hi, I just saw your interesting forum on art movements. I am a Caribbean artist. Would like to introduce my art theory "The Modular Triangular System" to your forum. While it is not an art movement as such it still offers an alternative to painting on traditional rectangular formats which have served well to promote most art movements. You can log on to my website at: www.roylawaetz.com Regards, Roy Lawaetz |

Hello I did enjoy your site, and do admire your skill. I have a friend who uses triangles in her work and has done for probably ten to fifteen years. We have both experimented with the use of shapes as we are both "off the wall" artists.
I also paint in a similar fashion as you, using some quite geometrical abstracts lines and forms. Sometimes I find I will use several layers of paint, and many thin layers with my yellows, because I want deep rich colour. I do love your use of colour and I was excited actually to see such a beautiful website. I would like to know if you are still using masonite, or do you form your own canvases? I began to form my own because it was the concept of "sculpting and painting " combined and probably gave me more of a feeling of being a part of the process. I usually work that out with some structural work composing free form and free standing sculptures. Your site is well designed and has ease of mobility, I am curious, did you design the site as well?
I will take time and read over the excerpts for your book as soon as possible. Thank you very much for posting your link and allowing me the opportunity to see your accomplishments.

yes Roy - a pretty impressive website! and as i was reading the art theory of the triangular modular way, it was somewhat awakening to think of the rectangular prejudice most of us have grown into. I just thought the shape of the rectangular western wall had to influence the latter - and thought of the Native American Teepee and how those crafts do not seem heavily 'rectangular" either. Can't say I'm famliar with Egyptian housing ... but anyhow - thought I'd ask the group to help with my identity crisis  - i call my work Numinist and for the past 3 years havent had any luck finding other similar painters in my vein of abstract expressionism. (numinism?) to promote each others works - if anyone cares to have a look at the style, visit artmayhem.com - and "clasiify" me (please be gentle mr ignoramouse - you do seem more officially educated in the movements than I am) - or point me toward similar artisits. gracias - danka - peace |

Numinism as an art movement...? I went to your website and had a brief look at both galleries. Interestingly enough I found a few of the paintings to be quite appealing. I think it is interesting that you paint with your fingers...and interesting you use such vibrant color. Although I am unfamiliar with the term "Numinism" as applied to an "art movement" ... I'm also not an artist who follows "movements".  I found the term Numinism to be interesting; applied to a system of beliefs, and assume that you follow the basic "code" or established beliefs of Numinism. ..."Numinism :a Neo-Pagan religious/ spiritual tradition. The name is modeled after the Japanese word Shinto. "Shin" means gods and "to" means way. Shinto is 'the way of the Gods'. Similarly with Numinism, numina means Gods and –ism means a system of belief, practice, or doctrine. So, Numinism is also 'the way of the Gods'. The symbol for Shinto is the Torii, the large gate at the entrance to a shrine." I don't think I would attempt to "classify" your work or you as an individual, but do want to thank you for posting. |

deborah - glad to hear you enjoyed my work, and glad to hear you never heard of numinism either because I was pretty sure that it was my creation. About 2 years ago, someone told me my works were very numinous and that night I went to the old websters and that set the wheels in my noggen rolling. -whether or not the term "Numanism" is snagged by another group is yet to be seen, I just hope they include me or vice versa. ps - i was referring to my artwork identity crisis, I leave the rest to counselors  the french horn piece was done with brushes yet candlelight dancers and most of the others are fingers/hands only. again - only once have I seen a truly similar painter (painting) as I happend to be in a taxi near times square - if anyone has knowledge of painters in the same stream - please let me know - the momentum would help the new "movement" I am pathetically pioneering and "launching" - in my own mind anyway, and I am sure good karma would be in store for those who are deserving. - and your poetry site was a nice break, but will go back to the galleries when I have more time to join the webring etc. - to da loo |

- I meant to say I was glad that you had not heard of Numanism Thanks for finding the religious definition - I remember stories of my Lithuanian grandfather in his tomoto garden cursing Perkunis (the god of thunder), although catholic, thought the pagan definition you had found very interesting. I find that I spend too much time thinking about
classifications and whatnot when I am procrastinating while painting.

I would be very hapy if there are new BEAUTIFUL art movements.I try to make one of them with my art,but in Europe this is very difficult! I am in Italy now and I see all of the modern italian artists imitated american art.That is pitty,cause they have so nice and rich traditions in art,but not apreciated it. My art is here: www.ilianrachov.comI'll be hapy to know your comments about it. Ciao |

i think your work reflects a serious study of art and academic painting. i did enjoy your representations of famous works. it is nice to see such dedication to the classical form of art study. i think there is still a venue for beautiful work and realistic perspective. possibly what you are experiencing is what most artists feel at times, that the art you produce may or may not have broad scope appeal, and that you must distinquish yourself somehow, separate from other artists through some innovative or cleverly conceived "movement". i feel as long as you stay true to your work, that you should not worry about "the latest style or mode of art". true art does not need to be popular.
