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...
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 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 ...
Welcome Aboard. I only started this site 9.00pm GMT Thursday 23rd October 2008 and I am proud to have so many artists join in such a short time. Although now semi-retired, I act as an artist recruiter for a couple of websites. I live in Hastings on the South Coast of England, you know, Battle of Hastings, William the Conqueror, 1066 and all that. I am a writer.
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. What I will do, as I have done before is to place the site in the view of art buyers, interior design companies and such like. 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.
