According to dictionary.com, art is the conscious production or arrangement of sounds, colors, forms, movements, or other elements in a manner that affects the sense of beauty, specifically the production of the beautiful in a graphic or plastic medium.
Question: So what's the purpose of making an artistic piece?
Carla says: To satisfy the esthetical areas of our senses -- sight, hearing, touch.
Question: Is art a defined agreement-based piece of work?
Carla says: Absolutely not. It's very abstract in perception indeed. What looks good for you doesn't always look good for other people.
Question: When you make a piece of art, does it need an approval from the authoritive ones?
Carla says: Hell no! It's a piece to be enjoyed by individuals. And never depends on the crowds' opinion about it. Whether it is artistic or not, the unique art-lovers that see it are the ones who decide.
Well, to hell what I say. I still need to stick on the what-so-called "agreed" art in my office. Make simple wallpapers with lines only and complete the target. See if you can sell them online.
I do believe you can sell them online, of that I am sure but sorry I have no idea what the websites are called. I tried searching but couldn't find even one. Trust me there are out there. If you do look for websites that are willing to buy your art or sell your art for you then G'luck! I'll try to look for them again, later but don't count on me. Again, sorry :P

My comment:
If you want to enjoy your own masterpiece, you don't need to listen to others' opinion really. But if you want to sell your pieces, you absolutely have to satisfy the buyers not your-self. Customers are the kings like they always say.
I recall a movie about Rembrant. It's not his skill or the quality that makes his paintings' prices skyrocket. When he lived, he couldn't even sell his paintings for food. He even died in poverty. But after his death, collectors hunt his paintings mostly because of his tragic story. They don't care how good or bad his painting as long as they got Rembrant's authentic signature.
Denni, when art meets business, that is, indeed. But I'm not going to die first to have my art accepted by my team leader. :P
ReplyDeleteArt is to be enjoyed, not understood.
