somedevil:Asger Jorn, Poussin (Défiguration), 1962‘Travelling, between continents or galaxies, or in the labyrinths of everyday life, is what explains Jorn best. In his n-dimensional continuum (the dimension of time is the funniest and the most beautiful), Jorn looks like the painter of Science Fiction — UFO, Unidentified Flying Objects, 1955. But, contrary to the general spirit of this genre, which is the uneasy transposition of aggressive class and race domination into space, the traveling creatures encountered in Jorn’s paintings are well met. Inheritor of revolutionary universalism, Jorn is the first to proclaim the fraternal slogan: “Monsters of all planets, unite!” The long voyage is not finished. ’- Michèle Bernstein, 'The Long Voyage’. -- source link
