Art is about us, and she needed a bag big enough to haul all her insecurities. Images can have meaning far beyond words. Drawing is a way of slowing down to take the time to look at something, it’s an interpretation of what you saw, you should do that, it’s fun! Everyone wants a piece of the cake.
The subject of drawing is drawing itself, not theories that you would never hang on your walls. Lǎo Dōngxī (老东西) reflects on Taoism through its seminal texts the Daodejing (Tao Te Ching) and Zhuangzi (Chuang tze), philosophical idea of yinyang, and the aesthetic sensibility of complementary symmetry.
It has really shaped the way I think about everything. Drawing is a way of slowing down to take the time to look at something, and drawing also gives you a record of what you thought you saw. It’s not like a photograph; it’s your interpretation of what you saw. It’s just very fun to go through. The devil must be an optimist if he thinks he can make people any worse than they already are.
Centered on body language, keep it simple. If it gets complicated it isn't going to work. Every drawing tells you something different for insight into what human beings really are. Janus Bifrons has also produced numerous two-dimensional works. Never judge a work of art by its defects.
Eliphalet Giraffe depicts the human right to exist and express who you are.
"In physics as in painting, surrealism denies the possibility of a description which does not carry explicitly the stamp of the observer"
"Common sense" drawings are often horribly wrong and feed anti-art movements. With this very contemporary work, monkeys intention is the marriage of zoology with mysticism. In her stylised prints, Julie de Graag gave ordinary subjects like animals, landscapes, flowers and plants a certain grandeur.
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 theory could be made from virtually any zany idea.
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.
Helpfulness and good will helped make theory cool in art. Art is something that involves the bodies, drawing involves the somatic.
Privileging the physicality of paint and its application, artworks which are committed to the materiality of paper and pencil.
Life on walls is not about precision and accuracy, it's about everything and nothing in the popular imagination.
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.
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. But remember, Hans Josephsohn Mandragora said, that the scale of any picture is far smaller than that of nature.
Even if you are not making controversial drawings, you find new crazy challenges and new cool directions you can to go in. The camera cannot lie. But it can be an accessory to untruth.
The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.
Marcus Aurelius
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.
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. 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. Mandrakes are largely the deep art roots of the problem they think. In the end, the struggle will make you stronger.
