DuChamp's The bride stripped bare by her bachelors, evenDuChamp's work was all about the thought that went behind the piece- This was one he woked on for years, and incorporated collected dust, random -not so random- cracking, and a juxtoposition of symbols that represent different things- It doesn't look like much, but tells a very well thought out story- I won't interpret, but it is inspiring-
What I always loved about DeKooning was the way he would work on specific details like the face, then scrape off the paint, leaving an impression, then paint over it- There's something haunting about this-
VanGogh's simple, expressive use of line and color-
That witty Brancusi
The thinker.....thinking

You should be teaching art.
I remember a young high school student doing the same as DeKooning.... painting completely over his project and starting over at 2 A.M. for a project due that day.
I think you have much in common with many "GREAT" artist as yourself.
