While the best words in the world aren't helpful, true art will not come from Chaos, it just makes life better. People from technological civilizations tend to find it hard to give up control (Brian Eno). Control can narrow our vision.
The artist has to be a guardian of the culture (Robert Longo), something that is not uncommon given the misogyny which exists in many cultures. It's entirely possible there's a lot missing along those lines from the story between the familiar and the unknown.
Edmond Gonfalon became known for his quixotic projects as an end in itself rather than a means to an end in another, more substantial medium, where works represent madmen as possessed creatures or ludicrous people, according to a medieval belief. Artist’s self portraits reveal certain aspects of an person’s identity.
The picture aims to use pixel methods to crack another knotty problem in art humor:
Understanding what is being realistic always uncover an inherent confrontational art; art is the wittiness that grows in man; images, by necessity, has an idealistic view of things (Jean Arp).
On going gallery for the beauty of imperfection, an effective way to deal with predators is to taste terrible.
When you fish you think of nothing and you find answers. When will the weak pictures grow a spine and do something? In any society, there is a tendency to create a binary between us and not us. Art is nature as seen through temperament.
On ne trouve pas de paysages tout faits dans la nature: ils se font dans notre imagination (Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot).
Art is a reflection of the culture in which it was created. That strange feeling of discontinuity that we sometimes have in life. But is that really a thing? I’m a goofy piece of art myself.
Subjective (art) is very powerful only in that it can communicate strong ideas, and emotions. Art is nothing more than the shadow of humanity (Henry James).
Like an insurgency, art theory has crept into the daily lives of contemporary artists and reached the level of near obsession. Weathering Joe’s conceptual practice has been dedicated to exploring the human condition through the awareness of self and others in search for a comprehensive totality.
"There is nothing flatter than a flat canvas" (Helen Frankenthaler)
Learn to how to put the unfinished cherry red on top. Art is for all (David Hockney).
The symbols that humans are essentially insightful, make it memorable. Contemporary art is weirdness made visible to make life on walls sympathetic and weirdly cute. Picture forcing them to define the reasons why they like the thing they claim to like to do.
Ambiguous image ultimately breaches high- and low-culture, the same irony that has reduced painting to a self-parodic anti-art statement.
These artists grew up in an alienating time; all helped dislodge the guiding social narratives of previous generations. The whole point of Grasshopper's theorem is that giant innovative leaps come apparently out of nowhere. The visionaries who succeed are those that very quickly morph their models on short notice.
How does culture relate to art? Artists need to focus on their stuff. Images recall the fragility of man in the flood of millions of images that overwhelm us.
In today’s world, where globalization continually intensifies, mental imagery and memory relate art to culture, art is the signature of civilizations. It's art-culture co-evolution, they feed off of each other. Even the craziest images talk about carving out a place for them in the larger culture.
All painting is abstract, it must be organised (David Hockney).
Every piece contains more than one story. Art is a part of the rebellion against the realities. Toggling between the past and present, urban art is a cultural phenomenon par excellence. We live in a fluid world and that change is the only thing that is permanent. Minimal narrative means "Art that speaks for itself". The world in our heads is not a precise replica of reality, civilisation has consistently been constructed by or against the wild, savage and animalistic. I think that art-making is intrinsically spiritual. This means that language and visual ability are intrinsically linked.
Some old drawings have a checkered past and need to weather the storm until the dust settles. Chaos will come from a piece of wood or metal that allows its figures to determine their own destiny.
Paragone was the Renaissance argument about the relative merits of artistic media (usually sculpture and painting) and resulting attempts to demonstrate the superiority of one over another. This possibility is certainly open, this is life, but most good picture to remember were not famous for anything. One theory suggests the images may have been used to track the passing of time and the changing of the seasons.
This is a classic case of a modern, Western concept being clumsily slapped onto an ancient Chinese idea, which distorts its original meaning. Some words will always be untranslatable between cultures.
The metaphor and revelation of the violent and competitive relationship brought about by urbanization is also embodied in a more specific context, bringing funny work in the popular imagination.
When one starts asserting that too much irony is not fair, the end is near. No rules! This page is over 2 years old and still fresh as a daisy.
True art will not come from Chaos, it just makes life better. Chaos will come from a piece of wood or metal that allows its figures to determine their own destiny.
While the best words in the world aren't helpful, the best images are truly helpful when almost impossible to believe. Context affects so much of our interpretation of art. Sometimes curators assume that any information they have to provide will be wanted by visitors.
