Personal Reflections, by Arthur Secunda, via Pierian Press
When I think of clarity and simplicity in art, my thoughts invariably flash back to Hans Arp. On a recent visit to the Fondation Arp in Clamart outside of Paris I once again focused on the soft, sensuous surfaces of his sculptures and the reduction of his forms to quintessential essences. In my mind I often translated his biomorphic figures to a sort of surreal landscape imagery.
I remember a discussion with the great French photographer, Lucien Clergue, prior to our joint exhibition in Barcelona on the subject of sensuality in landscape. We concluded that soft, blended graduations of falling light will communicate mystery, a tactile sense of form and transcendental sensuality in any medium - painting, photography, sculpture and even architecture (as in Antoni Gaudi, for example). This is a quality that, in my view, present day minimalists, by and large, lack. On the other hand, there is very little in our everyday urban culture that is truly organic, in the sense of offering visual continuity, rational movement of people, or environmental pride. Of course it is no wonder then that artists reflect this cacophony of harshness and non-sequitur through contemporary expressions of non-sensuous violent sex and banal aggression.
Unless one is exposed to "another place" one has no reason to believe that that other place exists or know what we, who do know, are talking about. In composing the muted grid-like structure of the relief-collograph, Another Place, I attempted to set up a spatial balance something like the tension in a Kenneth Snelson sculpture. I wanted the sun-moon and the three cypress trees to be speaking to one another in a whispered conversation. At the same time, I tried to cleanse each horizontal land form of superfluous "hot spots", to give the composition a sort of laid back soft and sexy Mondrianesque underpinning without compromising solidity or structure.
For me the other place depicted in Another Place is Shangri-la, somewhere over the rainbow. An anecdote related to me by Bill Rubin some years back when he was a regular visitor chez-Picasso comes to mind. The subject of discussion was a particular Cezanne painting of l'Estaque belonging to the master. Bill described Picasso, pounding the area on the canvas depicting the sea with his fist, and in his coarse Spanish accent rolling his rrrs, repeating," Rrregardez la Merrra - c'est solide comme la terrral".
Its this abstracted quality of solidity we artists must strive for to make our art palpable and enduring. When I created Another Place with softness and simplicity, my hope was that its inner power would be cosmic yet unmistakably present.
