About Art

Below is an exempt of an article by a neuroscience! student Josh Siegle

Works of art are like people. They can lift you up, teach you valuable lessons, and inspire you in your daily life—but only if you're willing to invest some time getting to know them.

The problem with many museum-goers is that they expect to find instant gratification. They're searching for paintings that awe them with their beauty or their wit; if they don't like something right away, they can forget about it and move on. This is the wrong approach. Just as with human relationships, engaging with a work of art should never be a one-way street. A great work of art is not a runway model, there for you to ogle from afar. A great work of art is not a street performer, there to entertain you in exchange for the contents of your coin purse. Judging a work of art without taking the time to learn about its history, its motivations, and its aspirations is every bit as superficial as judging a person by their appearance alone.

Enlightenment,discovery and love -- there are no more compelling reasons to be on a road. And there is no more compelling reason to paint .

Importance of art

The necessity of maintaining art in our daily lives was clearly stated best by Leo Tolstoy - The activity of art is... as important as the activity of language itself, and as universal. By words one transmits thoughts to another, by means of art, one transmits feelings.

What is the most interesting abstract art work. (Just an opinion)

  

Art is alive when it first crashes on the art scene when critics and art world don't quite know how to respond to it.

J. M. W. Turner's Rain, Stream and Speed (1844)

Turner was exiled by the academy in 1838. This is one of his earliest attempts to capture his era and experience in a new style. One could make an argument that the above painting is one of the first impressionistic works. The hues and the technique of applying paint had to be rethought. This painting was a game changer.
