About Me

I find that I am very particular in my likings of art. I love color and when I look at an art piece the colors is what draws me in. The subject of the artwork then is just the add bonus. The color for me is the emotion and the subjects reveals a story. I think that the second that you see an art piece that you either like it or don't. Subconsciously you make a decision within seconds and then you consciously fall in love with it's meaning, to you. The Mona Lisa for example has an emotional darkness but her face and the slight smirk showing on her face, give you the feeling that there is a dark secret she is not telling us.

This piece, Die grossen blauen Pferde, (The Large Blue Horses), is brilliant giving off an emotion of freedom, togetherness and expression of love. The colors draw you in and the close group of houses in shapes of hearts give me the sign of family. I have also notices that all primary colors were used making this a very visible artwork to the human eye.

Most of the time I will get stuck looking at the same pieces over and over again which represents my love for classic, renaissance art pieces and will not expand my horizons to other pieces that could spark an emotion. I hope that this class will help me to be open to the large array pieces that I know are out there but haven't been exposed to. I know that there is art that could be produced by food, structural art work from inorganic material and the art work for a medial purpose and all need and will be liked by someone but not by all. How does one artist try to appease the views of the masses for career purposes? Doesn't a great piece of work need to be liked by most for it to be considered a great piece? This is probably why artist have the tag "starving artist". I look forward to expanding my horizons.
