  1. Automatism: Gateway to the Subconscious Mind Presentation by A. A. Schorsch Miro Birth of the World(stretched) http://www.moma.org/collection/depts/paint_sculpt/blowups/paint_sculpt_014.html

  2. Automatism au·tom·a·tism [ aw tómmətìzəm ] noun 4. painting literature artistic method: an artistic approach, associated with the surrealists, in which the painter or writer empties the mind and allows the unconscious to direct the work http://encarta.msn.com/dictionary_/Automatism.html Automatism involves painting shapes and colors as they automatically come to the artist’s mind; consisted of allowing the hand to wander across the canvas surface without any interference from the conscious mind. The resulting marks, it was thought, would not be random or meaningless, but would be guided at every point by the functioning of the artist’s unconscious mind, and not by rational thought or artistic training. http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761587547/William_Baziotes.html#461547769

  3. Automatic Drawing Automatic drawing was developed by the surrealists, as a means of expressing the subconscious. In automatic drawing, the hand is allowed to move 'randomly' across the paper. In applying chance and accident to mark-making, drawing is to a large extent freed of rational control. Hence the drawing produced may be attributed in part to the subconscious and may reveal something of the psyche, which would otherwise be repressed. Automatic drawing was pioneered by André Masson. Artists who practiced automatic drawing include Joan Miró, Salvador Dalí, Jean Arp and André Breton. The technique was transferred to painting (as seen in Miró's paintings which often started out as automatic drawings), and has been adapted to other media; there have even been automatic "drawings" in computer graphics. Pablo Picasso was also thought to have expressed a type of automatic drawing in his later work, and particularly in his etchings and lithographic suites of the 1960s. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrealist_automatism

  6. "Rather than setting out to paint something, I begin painting, and, as I paint, the picture begins to assert itself. . . . The first stage is free, unconscious. The second stage is carefully calculated." ~Joan Miró http://www.moma.org/collection/depts/paint_sculpt/blowups/paint_sculpt_014.html

What modern art means is that you have to keep finding new ways to express yourself, to express the problems, that there are no settled ways, no fixed approach. ~Louise Bourgeois (Born 1911- French-born American sculptor, painter, and graphic artist) http://encarta.msn.com/quote_561549936/Modern_Art_What_modern_art_means_is_that_you_have_to.html View of Louise Bourgeois's sculpture Spider from the roof of the Winter Palace in the Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg, Russia http://www.hermitagemuseum.org/html_En/13/hm13_2_001_1.html
