Art is a unique moment that steps forth as foreground, leaving the more commonplace as background.
Art is for me loneliness.
And a qualified uncertainty!
I enjoy the poetic descriptions of Jack Beals and Morten W. Gjul, and they confirm for me that meaning in art is highly personal.
What is art? is a question I have lived with all my life. As a young child I spent many hours of my free time inside a major museum
pondering the paintings, sculpture — ancient to contemporary–
hoping to discover the definitive answer.
I don’t know what it would be like to live a life devoid of art.
Everyday the act of painting brings new answers…
Art to me is my way of expressing how I feel inside at a particular moment of time. Sometimes life feels so great that I just have to get out and tell the world how wonderful life is.. then there are times I feel so sad, moody, disappointed that art helps me to release those distressed feelings. I can’t imagine a life without it….I know I would be lost.
art ist experience. Kunst ist eine ideale ganzheitliche Erfahrung.
i believe that art is in parts a form of expression and/or invitation for communication by means that are out of the ordinary and everyday way, received and perceived by people gifted and with a certain degee of mastership and , hopefully triggering associations and emotions in a perceiver. or is it simply a manifestaion of a being out of balance – no matter how sophisticated .. ? (my thoughts on this are not fully thought through
)
ich glaube, dass kunst zum teil eine form des ausdrucks und/oder eine einladung zur kommunikation ist, die sich ausserhalb des gewöhnlichen und alltäglichen befindet und von oder durch talentierte und könnende menschen kommt, die mit ihrer form des ausdrückens und schaffens (hoffentlich) im betrachter eigene assoziationen und gefühle anregen. (ich muss hier sagen, dass ich dieses thema in mir selbst noch nicht ausgeschöpft hab und noch keine wirklich schlüssige meinung hab.)
Art is about getting connected.
For me, art is a kind of refuge, a safe haven where I can retreat from the world and recharge with positive energy, although the cause is not always positive that drives me to create. Art is highly personal and very individual. It gives me pleasure when all else fails, and in ways a kind of satisfaction and self-assurance that enriches me as a person and a human being.
Art. Confidence with a frame around it!
