… One could say it also<br />
points to another area the art<br />
world currently concentrates<br />
on, namely the artist. But<br />
what kind of figure is he then<br />
if art can be outlined to an<br />
extent that an informal<br />
conversation becomes the<br />
artwork <strong>The</strong> romantic figure<br />
disappears completely –<br />
typically the male painter<br />
who staggers and fences<br />
with brushes. This figure has<br />
already been fiercely<br />
challenged and it is here, on<br />
the small plot of land, where<br />
the <strong>Dough</strong> <strong>Warrior</strong> treads. If<br />
he is unable to guide the<br />
brushes into the buckets of<br />
paint he merely lifts the<br />
bucket and paints. It is both<br />
comical and tragic, and is<br />
one of many stories portraying<br />
the difficulties of being an<br />
artist…<br />
… Man kan sige det er jo<br />
også med til at pege på en<br />
anden ting, som kunsten i<br />
disse år har fat i, nemlig<br />
kunstneren. Hvad er han<br />
for en figur, hvis kunsten<br />
udgrænses i en sådan grad,<br />
at man kan sidde og have en<br />
diskussion, og dét så er<br />
værket. Da forsvinder den<br />
romantiske figur helt væk,<br />
typisk den mandlige maler,<br />
der står og fægter med<br />
penslerne. Og den er jo allerede<br />
voldsomt udfordret og<br />
dér – lige ind på den parcel -<br />
træder dejkrigeren altså. Og<br />
kan han ikke styre penslerne<br />
ned i bøtterne, da tager han<br />
bøtten op og maler. Det er komisk<br />
og tragisk, og det er<br />
endnu en fortælling blandt<br />
mange om det besværlige<br />
ved at stå på det sted, der<br />
hedder ’en kunstner’…<br />
