Termina otro taller de Martín Kovensky en La Papelera y la frase de Steinberg reluce con toda su potencia: "...a lo que respondemos frente a cualquier obra de arte es a la lucha del artista contra sus limitaciones" ("...what we respond to in any work of art is the artist’s struggle against his or her limitations.").

Y, claro, como siempre el gozo y la furia ante lo 'imposible' del dibujo de observación. El buen Saúl nos da unas pistas:

"It’s hard to do a portrait. You must first spend a critical moment in which you quickly — if you’re lucky — discard all the commonplaces about the subject of the drawing. More difficult than inventing is giving up accumulated virtues. The things you discovered yesterday are no longer valid. It’s impossible to find anything new without first giving something up.
There’s a moral in this. It’s stinginess that holds us back, especially when we’re not only enamored of what we’ve discovered but also convinced it’s good. There are those who, in working from life, continually use the baggage they picked up yesterday; they work from life without really looking, without working from life.”



El arte más difícil: mirar
