Each instrument has it’s limits:
I can draw with the pen “tool” on a sheet of paper but not on a wall.

The materials are limiting the use of the pen as a tool. But there are also many other limits…
A limit may be common to different tools:
a wall can be painted with a brush or a roller or a spray etc etc…
What is the best way to paint that particular wall?
If it is my first time, I do some testing.
If I m an expert, I already know what the best tool is.

Then.
What is the best way to communicate a thought?

The artist explores and seeks new tools of communication.
Often his art-works don’t communicate any thought, but experiments are essential for an evolution.
Each of us should seek the best “tool” to communicate our thoughts.

Futurism explored for years the tool-painting trying to express the concept of speed in paintings.
Try to express the concept of movement on a static material is a good bet?
Perhaps
it is the limit of the painting.

Later, the invention of the cinema as a media alowed to express the same concept more easily and efficiently.
New concepts, that painting can never express, are explored with the cinema as a tool..
