Our world is bigger than ever before and art is most certainly a language that allows us to communicate our message to a broader audience. And because of this, contemporary artists have more subject matter to address which in turn may make some people uncomfortable. I very much value the classics as well and hope that more people will begin to understand the importance of both. Very well said H, thanks for your comment!Sara Amrheinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12553993181205738556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814414434808797366.post-30140295251118584912011-10-23T16:12:03.608+02:002011-10-23T16:12:03.608+02:00I love all kinds of art.

I'm a painter myself and I'm actually more of a classic one, even though I really like to explore new techniques and challenge my self in my own thinking. I like contemporary art, when I like it. So to speak. As well as I might not like all of Da Vinchi's art. I think though, that sometimes you can get the feeling with contemporary art - that the focusing on new thinking is so big that the artist seem to do anything just to be "new". But, in my world, everything that makes you feel something is a success. As you are saying - what's the artist actually trying to tell us with the piece of art? Artist are suppose to reflect the truth in a way to make people see it and thunk about it. And the truth isn't always beautiful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
