Guernica by Picasso
What is Good Art? What is Good? What is Art?
These are big questions which I plan to tackle bit by bit for as long as I have this blog…I think, talk, then mull…here are a few of my first thoughts…
Picasso said it begins where nature leaves off
Michelangelo said the true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection
Francis Bacon said that painting gave meaning to his life that without which he would not have had
Damien Hirst said there’s no possible way you can get what you want
Willem de Kooning said that the attitude that nature is chaotic and that the artist puts order into it is a very absurd point of view. All that we can hope for is to put some order into ourselves
…I like de Koonings view, I see it as a science of us humans trying to figure out who we are, why we’re here and what life is really all about…
Please help figure this out in the comments!
