Drawing is a way of slowing down to take the time to look at something, it’s an interpretation of what you saw. Images that have meaning far beyond words offers a journey through the layers of history. Everyone wants a piece of the cake and art needs a bag big enough to haul all its insecurities, not seeming to align with any discernible style or movement.
Art isn’t something that you do, art is a place where you go. A not-so-subtle image of a formal picture is a drop in the bucket as far as art could be made from virtually any material. And order and chaos theory could be made from virtually any zany idea.
Food drawings feed anti-art movements. In her stylised prints, Julie de Graag gave ordinary subjects like animals, landscapes, flowers and plants a certain grandeur.
The subject of drawing is drawing itself, not theories that you would never hang on your walls.
Drawing the way that makes you believe a bit in humanity. Eliphalet Giraffe depicts the human right to exist and express who you are. Snails widen our horizons.
Three dimensional scene placed on two dimensional surface means that one dimension may be missing. Modern thought has re-oriented itself around visual paradigms. Windows act as portals or thresholds, bridging the realm of the personal and intimate with the public and exposed. A hotbed for contemporary art sometimes feels overly distressed, art is about ourself.
For much of his career, and long after his death, Rockwell was considered an enemy of modern art, while contemporary art progressivism has turned into an endless race.
"In physics as in painting, surrealism denies the possibility of a description which does not carry explicitly the stamp of the observer"
Singular expressionism privileging the physicality of paint and its application, artworks which are committed to the materiality of paper and pencil. The slippery nature of reality is part of the reason art theorists now prefer to avoid non figurative expressionism.
Helpfulness and good will helped make theory cool in figurative expressionism works. Art is something that involves the bodies, drawing involves the somatic. Life on walls is not about precision and accuracy, it's about everything and nothing in the popular imagination. The content of art is never its subject (Leo van Puyvelde).
It's amazing how precipitously abstract art has fallen, relying upon old designs instead of innovating and looking forward. Formalism drawing nature in the raw, materializing the elusive nature of ineffable thoughts and feelings.
Confusing luck with skill is a good start for the worst postmodernist website. A nostalgia-laden venture into the swamps of 19th-century academic art, before the artist was getting pushed more and more out of the equation. Good old drawings know how to draw people. As with so much else, we know nothing about it.
In the mid-13th century, a work of art was appreciated for its conformity with the great prototypes of Eastern icons, thought to derive faithfully from acheiropoieta (icons made without hand). Cimabue aimed to break with this mode of representation, novelty became a central element in artistic appreciation.
The camera cannot lie. But it can be an accessory to untruth.
André Breton, because imagination is art when science-artists set the scene for their fellows with a foot in both worlds.
Keep it simple. If it gets complicated it isn't going to work. Skill alone don't make a picture. Appropriate data analysis requires just a lot of critical thinking about the data. Hand-drawing is more realistic than photography, good old drawings win again, sincerely simple things make painterly paintings. Just because you can't see the arwork doesn't mean the drawing doesn't see you. Witty art is computationally intractable.
Good art shows “the intrinsic beauty in reality,” Harris Rosenblum said. The artist’s explorations oscillate between abstraction and representation paralleling familiar tropes of Romantic oppositions between nature and culture.
Surrealism was less about anti-art, and more about creating an art from the unconscious. For many art theorists, the labeling of drawings or paintings as postmodern expressionism has negative connotations that imply nihilism at best.
With this very contemporary work, monkeys intention is the marriage of zoology with mysticism, but on closer inspection are revealed to be wittily observed and subtly sophisticated meditations on the nature of visual representation itself.
These images function as more than adornment; they serve as visual evidence of oppositions between nature and culture. Mandrakes are largely the deep art roots of the problem they think.
We have commercial artists who provide us with artistic experiences for the everyday world while the fine art world world seem to be happy being in a small bubble.
