There once was

                              Oil on canvas

                                     1992

One of the very first Meta-paintings ever. Created in ‘the year of the change’ 1992.

Like in all Meta-paintings there is this paradoxical ‘blend’ of childlike naivete and extremely mature awareness. But in the case of this very early Meta-painting the childlike ‘festive’ character seems to only just dominate the profound mature character, giving There once was a kind of celebrating character. Despite its deep-seriousness, there is ‘a party going on’ as well.

The reason for this could be that Marianne Schuit, for tens of years knowing that there had to be a way to break through to where she could finally express (literally!) everything with only a little bit of paint, finally had found the passage to this dimension in the kind of abstract paintings she began to create in 1992.

There once was and Panta rhei both seem to show some of the relieve caused by the finding of the nonsensical route towards art that leaves art behind and thus becoming something transcending the abilities of art by far: Meta-art.

There once was is one of the two ‘youthful’ creations from the very early youth of Meta-painting. The other one is Panta rhei.

Meta-art is by far the most complex artisctic expression known to us. Its complexity seems to directly reflect the incredible complexity of our own mind and in this mind and artistic expression come closer to each other than in any art ever made.

In some of the Meta-paintings of Meta-artist Marianne Schuit the complexity of Meta-art itself (and of our mind) seems to be on display. He who looks more carefully at Night watch will notice that not only there is a pattern of all kinds of differently coloured facets in this Meta-painting - its colouring adding up to a kind of ‘nocturnal atmosphere’ -, but there is also a rather whimsical pattern of ‘shift lines’ superimposed on this pattern of facets.

Such a superimposement in combination with an already very busy pattern of differently coloured facets, could easily be ‘too much’ to even the most willing spectator. But in Night watch the dazzling complexity of the different patterns does in no way get too much. Much to the surprise of the spectator, in some mysterious way, the enormous complexity of this Meta-painting still resolves in the grand calm and crystalline clarity so characteristic for all Meta-art.

With this Night watch seems to be one of those key Meta-paintings in which Marianne Schuit shows what Meta-art is all about. In this case: insane complexity that never loses itself in nothingness but always stays as solid as if it was simplicity itself.

Like our own mind hardly ever loses itself in its incredible complexity, but most of the time is defined by pretty simple and highly effective activities.

Of course you want to know what Meta-art is!

The best way to find out is to visit the studio of Meta-artist Marianne Schuit, see the Meta-paintings that are created there and speak with Marianne Schuit and Mick van Schooneveld about Meta-art.

But if for some reason this is not possible, then ordering the book Meta-art of Mick van Schooneveld could be very heplful.

In this book Mick van Schooneveld explains why Meta-art is the revolution of revolutions in the arts.

But he also tells the story of his own involvement in this creative expression that leaves art behind to enter a dimension where all the limitations of art seem to have vanished, enabling Meta-artist Marianne Schuit to express what, actually, cannot be expressed.

He shows that we are, thanks to Meta-art, living in the age of Meta-modernism, being the age in which the overwhelming developments of the (natural) sciences are (finally) accompanied by the overwhelming creative expression of ‘what’s on man’s mind’ found in Meta-art.
