With Dr. artist the senses got spiritualized and poetic painting went from mythology to philosophy. In the Netherlands, the pictor vulgaris could also be a tavern keeper and even the still lifes went from vanitas to delicious delicacies. French style, gallantry was delicate as a porcelain, got drunk in vapours and perfumed the atmosphere. Music wanted to be painting and painting had synesthesia – Symbolism combined everything, while Impressionism got rid of literature. In an instant, the moving image was already simulated well beyond tableaux vivants and panoramas. The only thing missing was for psychoanalysis to combine with surrealism and for the latter to enter cinema. Dissonance would take Kandisky’s painting-rhythm to the limit until the destruction of rules was the motto. Silence would eventually arrive, just as in happenings girls would be licking marmelade from a car’s hood. Through the interstices we were left with fun, irony and the pastiche in postmodern quotes - “let’s look at a trailer”.
