There are so many dimensions to apprecating art and understanding it - the number is as great as the number of viewers.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11037549177881696434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1324184304367023797.post-8157367611313130252010-04-19T14:41:10.382-04:002010-04-19T14:41:10.382-04:00On the topic, I think that some people find meanin...On the topic, I think that some people find meaning beautiful and some find looks beautiful. Some find a deep meaning a turn off, but some prefer a deep meaning over appearance. Defining beauty is not universally possible then, only perhaps the reason for it. Perhaps people are born with a certain taste, which evolves with life experience, and can change. I definitely like diffrent music now compared to ten years ago.<br /><br />Worse; the reason for beauty is probably not important... from the perspective of an artist!Mark Sheekyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00710485457283053795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1324184304367023797.post-39871607029437736722010-04-16T06:55:41.895-04:002010-04-16T06:55:41.895-04:00Well, Don, you caught me!!

Actually, I thought all of you might be a little bored if I keep drawing a lot of attention to these paintings so I decided to set up a slideshow instead. You really nailed what I was going for, so it looks like it succeeded. Thanks so much! I'm beginning the fourth one.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11037549177881696434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1324184304367023797.post-34555795796730229312010-04-15T22:41:31.083-04:002010-04-15T22:41:31.083-04:00OK, sneaky lady.

Nice try!<br /><br />I'll admit that it was your shift in color which drew my eye to it in the slide show up above. Oh, what a joy it was to click on it and see it a little larger. Now I want to see it in person! I love the colors, the shapes, the glints, the reflections, and the composition. WOW!<br /><br />I especially like how everything is being pulled to the only undefined orb in the whole piece - almost like I'd imagine the gravity of a black hole would effect all matter within its grasp.<br /><br />-Don-Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17549962962379079880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1324184304367023797.post-17314292919140414562010-04-15T19:24:03.868-04:002010-04-15T19:24:03.868-04:00Hi Margaret - An excellent point!

Like you, I also appreciate Lippard's scholarly insights.<br /><br />Hi Hallie - the comparison between the two artists is tenuous to be sure!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11037549177881696434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1324184304367023797.post-2909273663064333962010-04-15T16:00:13.836-04:002010-04-15T16:00:13.836-04:00From where I sit Goya's painting is a work of ...From where I sit Goya's painting is a work of art, whether I know it's background or not.<br /><br />It's hard for me to compare Goya's paintings with Serrano's large fuzzy photographs.

Bullough's ideas are similar as are Greenberg's. That's all fine and good but it divorces creation to the superficial- the surface quality. This "making pretty" doesn't allow any room for art that reflects the world and its conditions. Why bother to create it?<br /><br />I've always enjoyed Lucy Lippard's writing and her consideration of Serrano's work is well round. It asks us to consider the formal aspects with the intent of the artist and how the work fits into a larger history.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12726740154167156916noreply@blogger.com
