 | That is the thrill of making art I think. It cannot only be for the artist. Human nature compels us to share experiences and making art is no exception. However, I don't think it is always possible to predict what we as artists "make others see". That is also the thrill of making art. It opens a whole broad world not only for the artist but for the viewer as well. Not an exact science at all. |
 Gerhard Richter | This piece by Gerhard Richter suggests some things to me but I daresay the suggestion is entirely different for you. |
Pierre-Auguste Renoir " Two Sisters ( on a terrace)"
Seems pretty straightforward, right ? I viewed this piece before I had seen the title and assumed it was a mother and daughter. My perspective labeled it that way..... someone else's might not have. Then there is the "rest of the story". One could imagine any number of events surrounding this moment caught in time. And I don't think it matters what was really going on. It merely enhances, or embellishes, our perspective on the world as we view it. That's what art does if we are really observant. It may take a little more effort with contemporary art because we do so love our comfort zones. I challenge you to be challenged by what artists "make us see".
My musings for today:).
