I don’t think I will ever have a settled feeling about how much my obsession with “art” throughout the 80s influences what I see with my camera 3-4 decades later.
It sometimes feels like constraint. “I interpret the visual world through the lenses and frames I adopted during one particularly intense period of interest in art and rarely glimpse anything outside of that.”
Other times, I’m just so glad to have a foundation in art history, no matter how shaky and built on half-remembered things almost dreamlike.
Nice Theo van Doesburg abstract!
