Enso, Zen circle, by Hakuin Ekaku Zenji (1686-1769)

Kung Fu, hard work over time to accomplish skill
A painter can have Kung Fu
Or the butcher
Who cuts meat every day with such a skill
His knife never touches bone

Learn the form
But seek the formless
Hear the soundless
Learn it all
then forget it all
Learn the way
Then find your own way

The musician can have Kung Fu
Or the poet who paints pictures with words

But do not name it
for it is like water
Nothing is softer than water
yet it can overcome rock
It does not fight
It flows around the aponent

Formless, nameless

The true master lies within
Only you can free him

From the movie: Forbidden Kingdom 2008

I came across this video on Youtube the other day. For all those interested in art and the direction things are going – its worth a look. I’ve seen quite a few documentaries lately on the ‘art world’ and it seems that some very significant changes are taking place;  namely a bursting of the ‘bubble’ and with it an exposure of, not only corruption, but a naked emperor. My guess is that its all over red rover for the big boys – the collectors and corrupt artists. They had better just concentrate on keeping themselves out of jail for now. It seems the proverbial helium tank is out of gas and the emperor might start wearing more fitting attire from now on.

Its easy to see that if artistic integrity was incorporated into the price of art we would see a lot of ‘ambitious’ art out there by ’significant’ artists……… at throw away prices.
