Guest Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 :R Some of this *art* is only considered to be *art* because of the reputation of the artist. Someone else who has no reputation in the art world could paint/sculpt/solder/build/photograph the same thing, and be ridiculed, pointed at, silently laughed at or completely ignored..

D. Allan Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 Quote: Some of this *art* is only considered to be *art* because of the reputation of the artist. My grandaughter makes some beautiful drawings. What makes art art? Skill? Beauty? Realism? Novelty? Maybe its just another game humans play. I've not considered the question much, charis, but I've an idea art is that which deepens our appreciation of life and the world, and gives us fresh viewpoints for our stale ones. Art should wake us up out of the everyday humdrum drone ... it should help us to fly above the fog... In my seven-year-old grandaughter's case, her art is a celebration of the things she loves... animals...mermaids... Picasso said every child is an artist but the hard part is to remain an artist after growing up. Quote dAb O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!

Amelia Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Two very different looks. The portrait of 1900 looks like a Slavic young man to me. The 1906 portrait looks like a young Spanish Egyptian. And he lost so much hair in 6 yrs, yikes.

D. Allan Posted July 3, 2007 Author Share Posted July 3, 2007 He must have been a handsome young man. The bone structure is still the same in each picture as we would expect from a good 'realistic' artist. The next one is from 1907. Quote dAb O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!

D. Allan Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 [color:666666]"In his last years particularly, his production took on a manic and obsessive quality, as though the creative act (however repetitious) could forestall death. Which it could not. His death left the public with a nostalgia for genius that no talent today, in the field of painting, can satisfy." -Robert Hughes, TIME art critic Biography about the life of the famous Spanish Artist Pablo Picasso born Pablo Ruiz Picasso - Malaga, Spain - 25th of October, 1881 / Died - April 8, 1973 Read it at: http://www.artquotes.net/masters/picasso_biography.htm Quote dAb O frabjous day!
