Hi Janine, how are you?
There is one thing for sure there is so so much bullshit said and written about art.
Art is a form of expression, it should come from your soul. It is not down to how commercial it is or how beautiful it is either. Art can ...
Hi Janine,
You're right about technique. Sometimes it can't be separated from form. All I can say is thank God I was born in the 20th century with all its craziness and freedom. If you'd like to read a story about a 19th century painter that lost...
Hi Lisa,
We agree about the composition - as I stated earlier, I don't begin a piece unless I feel it has potential as a subject - the composition is a significant part of that decision but once decided it assumes a very minor role in the complet...

For Goodness sake! Whatever next? School playgrounds? Alton Towers anyone? This nonsense is funded by taxpayers money.

Hello again Janine,
I'm wary of people that put such a high value on technique. Form over substance. Isn't that antithetical to all conceptual art? And, if you're speaking of musicians instead of visual artists, the song written by the composer c...
Hi Lisa,
Yes, I understand you. It's in the putting to oneside of all knowledge about a form and seeing what it looks like in the first instance and then translating that onto whatever support is being used.
Unless I've misunderstood Pater, he s...
Hi Janine-
Well, I'm talking about art as a log of being. To create something, you must take something apart, either consciously or subconsciously, and then put it back together. You know what a cat is for instance or a cloud. or a catcloud. You ...

Hi Lisa,
Would you like to expand please?
my take - art is obliterational regeneration. Charlie Parker said "Bop is continual recovery."

Wilde goes on to say...
'... all art is at once surface and symbol. Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril. Those who read the symbol do so at their peril. It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors. Diversity of op...
Hi
Just in case you were worried that it is always quite around here.
My reply is that 'All art is at once surface and symbol' (Oscar Wilde)
Kev
Good Morning All,
It's a bit quiet around here, let's see if anyone is awake :)
Is there any consensus on what is Art?
What does Art attempt to achieve?
How do the attitudes of artists differ from those who enjoy Art as spectators?
Why would any...
I think it is fair to say that many people share a deep puzzlement or cycnicism about art that is too far removed from their personal ideas and expectations. I also think that a work of art that needs additional information to arouse sufficient in...

Popular culture successfully appropriated by Pop Art
I think it is fair to say that many people share a deep puzzlement or cycnicism about art that is too far removed from their personal ideas and expectations. I also think that a work of art that needs additional information to arouse sufficient interest to contemplate or gaze doesn’t quite succeed in it’s primary purpose, although that opinion is probably far too purist in practice.

- Welcome Aboard. I only started this site in October 2008 and I am proud to have so many artists join in such a short time. Now semi-retired, I live in Hastings on the South Coast of England, you know, Battle of Hastings, William the Conqueror, 1066 and all that.
It occurred to me that some sort of network was needed for artists, photographers, writers and poets to pool ideas, exchange views and promote their work. It is new and we will go along together, tell me what you require and we will see if we can do it. It is free; I know that artists are poor penniless souls working in lonely garrets, living on tins of cold baked beans, so I do not want to add to their worries.
If you wish to change the theme/style of your page, click on change theme on the left hand side of your page. If any of your friends and relations are artists, writers, poets, sculptors, in fact anything artistic, let them know they would be most welcome to join the site. Once again, welcome aboard.
