De, nei a welas brith gen Frost. Artist arnowydh a-lergh o ev. (Ev a verwas en diw mil ha trei.) Medh ev, "Da ew genam troylyow drefen bos rag nevra … Thens form tevyans puppres. Ma genejygyon ow ûsya troylyow et aga art ha ma bestes ow cawas troylyow et aga mòvyansow … Oll an sampel ew radn a vôwnans." Troylyow ew da gen artists erol ewedh. Mary Martin a wras "Mòvyans Troyllek", form crobm, dhort gednow, didro aga minyow. Ass ew hedna contradians! Bes pandr'ew art arnowydh po art anvaterial? Picasso a lavaras, "Nag eus art anvaterial veth. Ma res dhewgh puppres dallath gen neb tra. Wòja nena whei ell riddya olow oll a wrionedh. Nag eus antel veth e'n eur na, war neb coor, drefen vedh merk fast gerys gen tybyans an dra. Ben Nicholson a scrifas, "Forsakys ew gwirhevelepter e'n helgh rag gwrionedh: an diwedh princypal art anvaterial ew an gwrionedh ma poran."   


  














Yesterday, we saw a painting by Frost. He was a recent modern artist. (He died in 2003.) He said, "I like spirals because they're forever… They are always a growth form. The aboriginals use spirals in their art and animals have spirals in their movements … The whole thing is part of life." Other artists like spirals too. Mary Martin made "Spiral Movement", a curved form, from geometric wedges with straight edges. What a contradiction! But what is modern art or abstract art? Picasso said, "There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterwards you can remove all traces of reality. There's no danger then, anyway, because the idea of the object will have left an indelible mark." Ben Nicholson wrote, "Realism has been abandoned in the search for reality: the principal objective of abstract art is precisely this reality."
