Manolo Millares: Recent Paintings | Excerpt

Manolo Millares talks about this recent paintings, 1960. PUBLISHED IN THE EXHIBITION CATALOGUE "MILLARES. BUILDING BRIDGES, NOT WALLS"

ART TODAY APPROACHES THE DIVIDING LINE with the imposible. The impossible as an incentive for artistic creation always carries in itself a force of the greatest value.

A desperate art is always an end and a beginning; a viable form with which to say things, complete freedom, brutally, without walls of contention; a continual suicide and a continual birth. Everything impossible and absurd in our world inevitably brings me to the possibility of falling into the unknown without the pretension of salvation or condemnation.
