It is written in the stars
Is our destiny in our own hands or is it written in the stars?

Clement Greenburg- Modernist Painting
The task of self-criticism became to eliminate from the specific effects of each art any and eery effect that might cenceivably be borrowed from of by the medium of any other art. Thus would each art be rendered 'pure', and in its 'purity' find the guarantee of its standards of quality as well as of its independence.
'Purity' meant self-definition, and the enterprise of self-criticism in the arts became one of self-definition with a vengeance.
Modernists saw the limitations the Old Masters had seen such as-the medium of paiting, the flat surface, the shape of the support, the properties of pigment- as positive factors.
Manet became the first Modernist pictures by virtue of the frankness with hich they declared the flat surfaces on which they painted.
The impressionists made sure that they were not tricking the eye and left no doubt that the colours they used were only medium.
The modernist painter can only be seen into; can be traveled through, literally or figuratively, only with the eye.
The making of pictures means, among other things, the deliberate creating or choosing of a flat surface, and the deliberate circumscribing and limiting of it. This deliberatenedd is precisely what modernist painting harps on: the fact, that is, that the limiting conditions of art are altogether human conditions.
Art is- among other things- continuity, and unthinkable without it.
