He opened the door on the paths of modern art and happening. By dripping, he joined the body with the brush, the hand with the canvas, to end up confusing everything, a celebration of the ordinary gesture. By the large format, and the amplitude of the gestures, he has freed himself from the physical limits of the canvas, just as, by extension, the conventions of painting. .... https://medium.com/stephaniethrt/fluxus-from-life-to-art-dac5ab1cfa03 - VIDEO
