 Keith Haring (1958-1990) "When it is working, you completely go into another place, you're tapping into things that are totally universal, completely beyond your ego and your own self. That's what it's all about. " -Keith Haring
(To be clear, Haring was not talking about Post Personalism specifically. He made that comment many years ago but it nevertheless aligns with the post personal project point of view today).

 John Lennon's lyrics from "Instant karma" resonate with Post Personalism:
Better recognize your brothers Ev'ryone you meet Why in the world are we here Surely not to live in pain and fear Why on earth are you there When you're ev'rywhere Who in the hell d'you think you are A super star Well, right you are Well we all shine on Like the moon and the stars and the sun Well we all shine on Ev'ryone come on  Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944) As stated in Concerning the Spiritual In Art :
Kandinsky felt that an authentic artist creates art from "an internal necessity" that inhabits the tip of an upward-moving pyramid. This progressing pyramid is penetrating and proceeding into the future. What Kandinsky is suggesting that what we thought was strange or inconceivable yesterday is commonplace today. What is avant guard today (and understood only by the few) will be common knowledge tomorrow. The modern artist–prophet stands alone at the apex of the pyramid, according to Kandinsky. There, the artist makes new discoveries and ushers in tomorrow's reality. How do Kandinsky's comments relate to Post Personalism? Kandinsky was speaking in the language of his time. In our present time however, the "tip of the upward-moving pyramid" would be to say "the forefront of the evolution of human consciousness." It's the same thing. In other words, the new avant guard are those awakening to the reality of oneness. |
