dematerialization

Now Hazel — who is further traumatized by the dematerialization of her husband at the World Trade Center on 9/11 — has set out to write her own version of “The Blizzard Party,” an excavation of her past and those of her father and neighbors.

According to Dutch architect Jan Duiker, “This spiritual economy leads to the most appropriate construction, depending on the material used and evolves steadily towards dematerialization, spiritualization. … It is undoubtedly the intrinsic economy of the material that enables us to achieve more and to satisfy higher spiritual demands more truly than our forefathers were able to do.”

Seven bridge images, and a half-dozen canvasses devoted to the willow tree, demonstrate the chances Monet was taking with color, and his daring dematerialization of familiar subject matter.

“We were no longer preoccupied with dematerialization,” he said.

"I think the idea of dematerialization was always a little underrepresented in art. As a young artist, that was one of the important pillars of my work."
