allusive Explanation: Allusion being a means for intimist painting to transcend the restrictions of its (limited) subject. I don't really know, given the lack of context, so low CL. |

peer agreement (net): +6referential Explanation: Would be the normal way of saying it. No need to overtranslate. In Art, a reference is an item from which a work is based. This may include: an existing artwork, a reproduction (i.e., photo), directly observed object (i.e., person), or the artist's memory. Another example of reference is samples of various musical works being incorporated into a new one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 mins (2009-08-14 11:34:51 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=4AKnhTlLkicC&pg=PA192&lpg... http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=bNrqf4yxchEC&pg=RA1-PA13&... Interesting piece here by Simon Reynolds on Sonic Youth’s latest album The Eternal. Interesting not because it’s about Sonic Youth (pictured here, guest-starring on The Simpsons), but because of how heavily referential he argues their latest work to be. If, as the touring exhibition ‘Sonic Youth Etc.: Sensational Fix’ suggests, the band sees their music as part of a broader multi-disciplinary approach to cultural production, and given how heavily referenced Sonic Youth are in the art world, that this band should make an album that wears its influences so clearly upon its sleeves makes sense, albeit of a slightly disappointing kind. As Reynolds writes: ‘There are plenty of other bands who do this kind of heavily referential work (Stereolab and Saint Etienne spring to mind) but listening to The Eternal, I suddenly started thinking about how it was an odd place from which to write songs. At least, looking at it from the standpoint of seeing songs as the expression of personal experience. It’s not the only standpoint, it’s quite an old-fashioned one, but it does happen to be the approach and mindset of just about all the artistic, literary and musical icons Sonic Youth are honoring on The Eternal. You can’t really imagine Gregory Corso or Darby Crash operating like that. Their art would be a lot more expressionistic and cathartic and torn from the soul. No doubt Sonic Youth have arrayed these touchstones before their audience because they find them imperishably inspirational (perhaps that’s why it’s called The Eternal?). And, for sure, it’s perfectly possible to be profoundly moved by works of art in other mediums than the one you work on. But moved to write a song about it? (One tune on The Eternal, ‘Calming the Snake’, is apparently Kim Gordon “musing on visions of Death in painting”.) It all seems oddly meta, to have more in common with the kind of thing that goes on in the art world. http://www.frieze.com/blog/entry/self_portrait_of_the_artist... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days7 hrs (2009-08-16 18:56:43 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the points, Lori and the kind comments! |
