The art of the mind, the painter as the poet and dreamer, from a confusion of shapes the spirit makes new connections. "Art itself is nature " said Shakespeare. The socializing of perception: we see what we expect to see. Our knowledge is our experience. Spontaneous reversal of nature in art is achieved by a meditative order. Almost as big as the systems of the universe, the lonely spirit and work systematically give free rein to the imagination, the mind feeds on itself, without the intervention of society or the practical practice. (texts from Alexander Cozens, A new method of landscape.)
