Morden painting with sublime effect

• Cossacks is the dynamic tension between abstract form and concrete content.

Figure: Wassily Kandinsky Cossacks 1910–11

The sense in which such work holds creative and destructive elements in tension has a clear connection with the togetherness of pain and pleasure that are distinctive features of the sublime.

Figure: Duchamp’s Fresh Widow (1920)

• A truly modern sublime is to reject the 'representation'. The modern painting will simply present itself to the viewer, in the here-and-now moment of the direct encounter between the physicality of the canvas and the spectator.

Figure:BarnettNewman,VirHeroicusSublimis,1950-1.

• First time I come to know that sublime means a kind of supersensible power. It has different meaning as itself. It can be use in form of positivity as well as negativity. It is away beyond the concept of representation.
