Interview:
Madame Lash (Gretel
Pinniger)
Manifesto
on Art
I
believe that True Art comes only from the highest
impulse within ourselves, which we must seek and find
by a process involving Faith, Focus, Discipline and
constant Practise. For me this is so exhilarating,
blissful and such Fun, my dedicated wish is to share
my views with as many people as possible.
I
look to the example of the Greatest Masters of Art
and Music to find what I seek to bring to the practise
of Art. In company with them, I am concerned with
only the most exalted subjects - Religious and Spiritual
themes and Portraits of only the most highly vibrational
individuals, usually themselves Musicians and Artists
of all kinds and other people I admire as being well
advanced on the path to human enlightenment. I celebrate
their art and personal qualities with my own abilities,
in the belief that I will leave behind me each time,
a work which will give pleasure to many generations
through contemplating what I do. I hope that they
may know this person or this state as I do, through
my art. Therefore for me 'art' concerned with misery,
squalor and inhumanity, or portraits of unenlightened
people or losers, suicides or murderers are not for
me.
Although
I have been painting for over 25 years, with new focus
in the last 3 years, I have so far, never sold and
hardly ever parted with any of my paintings. They
are painted from the pure delight of doing so, and
my belief that, that painting should exist.
I
intend my works to be placed only in major public
places where they may live after me, eg. Opera Houses
and Galleries. The others stay with me and are to
be incorporated into my larger 'Works in Progress',
'The Kirk' Cleveland St, Surry Hills and 'Florida
House' Florida Rd, Palm Beach, both of these being
large old stone buildings, now being transformed into
live in Art Works where I seek to attract under my
roof the energies of any and all like minded Art and
Fun-Lovers on the basis of "The better you look,
the better I look, the better we'll all look".
