The time of fine art was the great age of art. Sadly, fine art isn’t popular anymore.
Even though television, video games, and pop culture have replaced fine art it is still valuable today. Fine art helps us learn more about who we are.
When you see art, you relate it to your life. You have to; you don’t have any information to make an opinion of what the artist is saying. Art critics attempt to understand the artist’s message, but no one except the artist knows. TV shouts its message – there is little room to interpret anything.
The mystery of art is the mystery of the message
In a painting, the message is a whisper from the artist. You can stare at a piece of art for centuries attempting to analyze it, passed around among eras like a precious family crest, and you still won’t find the meaning the artist wants to convey through every brush stroke.
You can find what art means to you in a fraction of the time. You’re always right.
Looking at art helps us understand ourselves. When someone says that a piece of art speaks to them, they mean it reminds them of a memory. Use this to your advantage. Lessons and ideas hide in the paint. Find more about who you are by admiring art.
