Jaisini "Marble Lady"

Marble Woman, The Notorious Marble Lady, My Marble Lady, Lady
Known as Marble, the So-Called Marble Lady, etc.

Art in the twentieth century has been awarded the highest
esteem as something we should admire and respect and I found
a lot of evidence of the truthfulness of such thought. I
emailed my essay called "Marble Lady" on Paul Jaisini’s oil
painting with the same title in frequency of 500-1000 emails
a day with a limited impact in consideration to the vast
amount of Internet subscribers.

What I have found was an unprecedented response from the
recipients, the readers who were intrigued and even entrapped
by this sort of a psychological game, trying to decipher the
meaning of the message, it’s content, how it relates to them
personally, who is the messenger, why was it sent to them and
why they were targeted to such atypical advertisement.

I did not expect such amount of feedback, which kept me busy
for months. It also was a degree of obligation to continue as
the action had caught public’s interest. This art mission
grew into a sort of conceptual art when I am describing an
oil painting authored by Jaisini without providing any visual
information.

It seems to me that this was one of the reasons for creation
of fancy about the given art work that was named by readers
in many special ways as The Marble Lady, Marble Woman, The
Notorious Marble Lady, My marble lady, lady Known as Marble,
the so-called marble lady, Marble Statue and so forth.

It is some sort of phenomenon of the essay hitting
unexpectedly PC users, as some preserved, sacred message,
which is not revealed but represented as an idea and
mysterious message from ‘above.’

I didn’t intend to engage in conceptual art activity, but it
happened without my insinuation. People had started the
dialogue that can only be called interaction. I was asked for
explanation. A work of art normally behaves as if it’s a
visual statement. This is a sculpture of Thinker by Rodin or
this is a portrait of Mona Lisa. The viewer may ask, who was
this Mona Lisa and why did she become so precious. But these
questions follow on from an acceptance of the visual object.

In my case, there was no visual object offered for review,
but an essay as ipso facto. And the visualization was up to
the reader. I offered the description as representation,
which seems a tautology and the chain of description was
further elaborated by each reader in his degree of potential
and "Marble lady" was "Marble lady" was "marble lady" ed
infinitum.

The response could also be believed as nervous breakdown
characteristic of contemporary people who have lost faith in
any offered commodity, nor in art claimed to be, neither in
social institution.

The connection of image with effective action on viewers is
disturbed. People seem to prefer a legend. The formalistic
presentation can no longer explain life in our rapidly
changing world. To the opposite of a true conceptual art
which was a violent reaction against modernist notions of
progress, this new action was populist and not against an art
object status, but for creation of an aura of legend and good
reception.

This action thus is purely aesthetic without discrimination
of the recipients. I have received responses ranging from
teen-agers to retired journalists. The romantic, poetic
message reached throughout the cyber space with little effort
in professionalism of presentation, but with a strong power
of personal correspondence.

The reader can find in the essay the artistic representation
with no political or apolitical aspiration. The conceptuality
of this action is even more paradoxical as in respects of
certain degree of privacy’s intrusion.

With emailing an art essay I was trying to impose art on non-
wanting receptors unlike the denial of Conceptual art and
it’s opposition towards art tradition.

The reception of the message "Marble Lady" turned to be the
best. It may be the method of this everyday nature that
prefigured good reception of the one who got the mail in the
box. If he reads an art essay in a snobby art magazine
written with the same artsy words, it would not reach him.

Instead of usual commercial offers the Internet user receives
the poetic message that he’d love to think has come from some
one he knows personally, or a secret admirer. The expectation
here is exaggerated and he thinks more of the essay than it
is realistically. He sees it through the rosy glasses of
sensual willingness. This may be the highest point of a
fusing the life of the home, office, classroom with the
hermetic life of the art studio, by the help of informative
mediator.

The essay sneaked onto the recipient without any commercial
tyranny as personal letter. The reader chooses to open and
read it.

The reason of course is the title "Marble Lady." Naming the
essay with the painting’s title "Marble Lady" I tried to put
the painting at the service of the mind. Duchamp rejected no
painting per se, but stupid painting. I found a chance for
critical research in works of Paul Jaisini, which allow me to
think in words and images. Jaisini’s paintings are smart
enough to teach, to reconstruct the mind and start up a new
art concept.

The written essay cannot substitute the visual image and by
no definition can be called an independent work of art, but
its art’s aura. It didn’t intend to create a debate, but
ultimately did, the aura is important in the pleasurable
straight reception of visual art work by people.
