Manifesto

“Inventive Imaginings and a Love of Beauty”

(after William Michael Rossetti p.135)

1. Works of art will be the distillation of a genuine idea.

2. Nature will not just be studied attentively but also invited to collaborate with the artist.

3. To sympathise with what is direct and serious and heartfelt in previous art, rejecting what is conventional, self-parading and ‘instagrammable’.

4. To produce thoroughly good pictures, poetry, sculpture, installations and assemblages.
