Painting as a craft

Not every painted picture claims to be a work of art and not every artefact worked with brush and paint is a painting. But for once, the question here is not how to make art, but on the contrary how to get rid of art, how to drive it out of painting again.Because it hinders the creation of good pictures and, with its obsolete values, is merely a burden on the profession of picture-making.  Painting, however, can certainly be practised as a good craft, and what this might mean is what we explore here, both in paintings and in texts: a work in progress.
