I saw a Botticelli exhibit once, and the paintings felt alive in person. Some pieces of art are much better appreciated in person, others less so.

Really interesting stuff here. Someone once compared my painting to Edvard Munch, so while reading how the actual painting made you feel I couldn't help but wonder if my art tends to give people that same feeling. Often times people don't have many words to describe how they feel about my paintings when viewing them in real life. It's strange that some of the most well-known artists used to be completely frowned upon till after death, and it's even stranger that some of the people we consider to have some of the greatest minds were actually seriously disturbed tormented souls. I learned something new... I never heard of SS, and I've never experienced this weird phenomenon. I question if it is legit, LOL. Have a great Holiday season. Wow. What a great blog.

I saw an exhibition on Expressionism in Madrid, and of course Munch amongst them. I love his representation of people as almost ghostly figures - I suppose emotion has no set anatomy. I really can't say I understand how you were disappointed. But I am extremely biased seeing as expressionism is my absolute favourite 'type' of art. Ah, Schiele. SS? Sounds mental! And now they are giving drug induced / mentally insane artists a labeled condition? Move over dyslexia, sign me up for Stendhal's! I'm a graphic designer but I have a huge soft spot for fine art.

Looking for inspiration? Meaning and purpose? Why bother, "L'art pour l'art". Bad things happen when you try to rationalise, irrational things. Sincerely not talking about art, Hippasus or Entartete Kunst Can't scream while drowning... hmmm...

They say it represents so-and-so, I say I could do that! I couldn't help but laugh when I heard about a modern art creation on display being accidentally thrown away by a cleaner. Are they sure the cleaner doesn't know art, or that it just doesn't look like art? Heh. I don't get modern art or anything overly abstract. They say it represents so-and-so, I say I could do that!
