	Meditative art - InformationBlast
		Monochrome painting as it is usually understood today began in Moscow, with Kasemir Malevich's "White Square on a White Field" of 1918.
		While Rodchenko asserted his monochrome to be a dismantling of the typical assumptions of painting, Malevich saw his work as a concentation on them—a kind of meditation on art's essence.
		In the same way these views are parallel in the viewing of a monochrome work: on one hand, one can read a monochrome as a flat surface, a material entity, a 'painting as object', and on the other, as a depiction of infinite, multidimensional space, both the end and fulfilment of illusionistic painting.

		Because art is an expression of life that often goes beyond simple aesthetics - sculptures, drawings and other forms of art can all be a part of the search for the Buddhist ideals of compassion, wisdom and peace.
		Art objects were also commissioned by worshippers to celebrate birth and death, to bring wealth or health and to encourage longevity.
		It was by no means selfish to do so, because Buddhist belief states that the commissioning of meditative art brings good fortune not only to the donor, but to all conscious beings throughout the world.

		Born in Brooklyn, New York, artist, spiritualist, entertainer, and teacher, Jeffrey Dali is the Father of Visualism--a meditative art form using perspective and layered images to recreate ever-changing forms as if seen in a vision.
		The paintings in this catalog represent nearly a 50-year retrospect of "Art for art’s sake." Previously, J. Dali’s masterpieces only hung in museums and were commissioned by such notable figures as Frank Sinatra, Malcolm Forbes, Prince Rainier, J. Paul Getty and Huntington Hartford.
		A deeply spiritual man, he humbly proclaims that his art is merely his therapy and that it is not of him, but through him; yet these velvet colored masterpieces are deserving of the highest artistic recognition and will surely take their place among the classics.

		On view from September 12 through October 28, 2000 at The Ruth and Sherman Lee Institute for Japanese Art is a special loan exhibition from the widely acclaimed Japanese art collection of Dr. Peter F. and Doris Drucker.
		Comprised of 22 paintings by the master Zen artists, Fugai, Hakuin, Sengai, and Torei, and including a classic Tenjin painting from Konoe Nobutada, the "Father of Zen Painting," the fall exhibition explores the unsophisticated and self-consciously primitive style of these Zen monks from the 16th to the 19th centuries.
		With these works, the Lee Institute is fortunate to offer the San Joaquin Valley the rare opportunity to study the meditative art and calligraphy of some of the greatest Zen artists of the Edo period in an appropriately serene setting.

		Matthew Barney's five-film "Cremaster Cycle" is an enigmatic epic - a bizarre brew of alt-fantasy-horror movies and meditative art films, Busby Berkeley musical numbers and Wagnerian opera, slapstick routine and Freudian drama all presented at a glacial pace, with a total running time of more than 6 1/2 hours shown in five parts.
		As a high school football star in Boise, he was introduced to the art world by his artist mother, who had moved to New York after divorcing Barney's father.
		After graduating with an art degree in 1989, he wowed critics with his gender-bending, body-centered, idea-heavy conceptual work, work that meshed perfectly with the art world zeitgeist of the early 1990s.
