between art and the trueth with beauty
Art is what you make, there does not need to be beauty or truth behind it. Just like the Les Demoiselles d'Avignom, it is not truthful or beautiful. Art is just that art, there can be truth or beauty, just depends upon what the artist is going for. Art can follow one and not the other or miss both or have both. But with art it always comes down to the beholder to think what they will about something. Were some people see beauty others see horrendous, someone might see something as the edgy raw truth while others just see over exaggeration. I also think art and truth can be a ying and yang in the art world. There is what someone sees and creates or what someone feels and creates. Depending upon who views the art, they decide if there is beauty in the work.

I like how you point out the role of the individual in the perception of art. Views of art do tend to vary widely, just as there is great variety in art. Art can, as you have stated, be whatever one wishes to be. However, I have noticed that in many of these posts, art is referred to as being seen. Is art only art if it is visible? Is music art? Again, the choice is up to the observer.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on that art doesn't need to be truthful or beautiful. It was interesting how you brought up that it is down to the artist on whether or not the art that is being created is beautiful or truthful. Art varies so much and makes us react differently because the artists are different and choose different styles.
