expressionism

getting to know my expressionist roots. I would say the emotive personal reaction and framing of the varied actions and subject matter all are unified under the expressionist formation and nature within all my imagery. the movement, the words of Matisse are important. the group was only loose, there was not a doctrine which all expressionists followed. the personal implications to me are huge and are clear within a advanced usage of the framing and seeing every image as a stage of characters. the expressionists would use musical terminology, musical modes and a compositional syntax are metaphorically suited for photography.
repeated and timelessly knowledge of a artistic discipline has encountered youth with questions; not only about life as we know it, but questions (posed with the work) which challenge the supposed uses and excuses to make fine art photography. to challenge a photograph with a dialogue from another photograph. hi-tech versus low-tech. to remind u of a situation which could be more clear but instead alternative views come forth? that's something I carry around alot. the world never looks as good as it does on TV...
