Cecil Collins (1908-1989) was best known as a painter, and established his reputation, to the extent of the eminent art critic Herbert Read, 1936 in London upon the invitation of the international Surrealist exhibition in the 1930s.
Surrealist influences in the field buttons, surely the Cecil Collins worked in the past, but in later years he developed his own unique image about the fool and the Angel of light archetypes borrows. Towards the end of his work showed the contents of a spiritual unreservedly to his true nature as a deeply spiritual man, in which the beliefs and principles are, in principle, contrary to an atheist Existentialism with the Surrealists
Cecil Collins is now commonly seen as ' visionary ', or ' metaphysical ', a painter and has been described, some historians, the most important visionary artist William Blake. However, for me, and I think that many other artists, his biggest impact was as a teacher, especially his life drawing classes, which I describe in my book ' the postures Of the creativity of the Archetypal ' methods used.
When I began classes in 1979, one was still on the course to get a reasonable chance of 1985 but had become so popular with students, that one was in the queue for the registration of all night during the week. The students had, in fact, the evidence of his orders, the risk of a teacher; implementation of the principles he became almost a cult figure. eventually, the In his teaching he was able to demonstrate an artist "to abandon the control" of the drawing in the life cycle of the step by step. Of course, this sounds absurd, if not impossible, but when one has experience, is less so. We spend trying to control it in order to avoid rental, get out of things in our lives. Abandoning the idea of control would seem to be folly; "the Fool" in height, but was one of the most significant icons. Cecil, Collins
When we have we are exposed to the mercy of the other, the risk control of our only resource is our intuition of the basic regulation. The control works with the intellect, which is to be a good ruling will lead to an art. I think that was the primary message of Cecil Collins. The artist in control of the art of the dead or allow intellect to produce. You can give life to the art, it is necessary to unintentionally intellect and emotional expression in the country's keskusteluitasi. This idea is of course nothing new. Generations of art critics, and teachers, artists, enjoined ' Take ', "express themselves", this is a spontaneous, but few know that import the PageSetup. Cecil Collins knew! His great achievement was that can draw away the disciples in his ability to express themselves freely in the life of the drawing vehicle. For this reason, he was a great teacher and his students recognized that fact.
Even if the category was intended to control for the surrender of Malta achieved keskusteluitasi, she works, was contradictory to the very structured in technologies and carefully orchestrated. The drawings were done very quickly in black or sepia tone in Chinese handwriting or gouache. One was expected to have seven small pots in action in the field of black with light gray tones. Implementation of the basic regulation, it is composed of Chinese brushes, pens, quill pen Miss reed, soft lead pencils and a red and black conté crayons area.
The sessions began with a brief lead, but even the longest lead was rarely more than five minutes. From the beginning, he took his control. He can dictate exactly what audio out manually and use the hand of one of both of them can be used in the hands of the expected one. After a certain time, sometimes up to seconds, he said, "change", the template would cause and students provide the paper and start the second, in accordance with the instructions of his drawing, one of which was to be viewed only by a template, rather tan the drawing. The drawing was originally done in high speed and rapid turnover.
His theory was that "the speed of a fast analytical mind does not succeed." Later, he would play music from each of the lead before, and the students and the template should request and move in response to any of the ways they considered it appropriate. At a given point in time, he will say ' Stop ' every step of the model for the freezing and students sit down and draw the new instructions. Occasions, these instructions need one to one of the fingers, hand, fist, bends, even a chin and nose. Sometimes, one was forced to hold the instrument (in which case the three instruments were used at the same time), in the mouth or the paper on the floor and draw the space in between the toes.
His secret weapon was a bundle of three foot long brushes, which he divided when the pupils were of sufficient ' pehmennettävä '. One was the second head on the shoulder to balance and ensure to the best of it with others. After two hours of suffering these indignities, one was ready to walk out or to surrender. This was the Critical moment; one of the resistance, perhaps being fool your trade? So far, most of the new students probably is feeling quite bewildered, if not to be confused; but Cecil Collins knew what happens; The Art was ongoing. The last hour was a calm atmosphere in the estimation of the intensity, pace slowed down and some are usually very good drawings is made; and it is all that matters to the arts; the end result, the process does not exist, or ' suffering ' is the artist.
Cecil Collins to understand that in order to eliminate the eristäytymisen adversity in the Act, in this case, one of the sustainability of the power of a certain aesthetic has been released. I recollect that some appropriate time, he commented, "the beauty of the expression of the pain involved is often". Had a doubt, one of the class, duration of the obligation not to present, to give attention to one of the only drawing process, not in the mind of the endless thoughts. One of the collapsed the entire class with a strong atmosphere arose, which was almost tangible.
Cecil Collins, was that rare ability to import each of the students ran out of his own or his or her latent power of spontaneous expression, which is a precondition of good art. It is he who made him was a great teacher.
By Andy Ian hopton creativity in the positions of Archetypal record book is typical of the ceremony that took place the drawing in the visionary painter Cecil Collins categories during the lifetime of the 1980 's. The ceremony of creativity raised a series of archetypal postures, all students, and the template.
