Now, not every piece of artwork is a comment on society, but every piece tells a tale—no matter how subtle or abstract.
A piece of art is so much more than its aesthetic attributes.
It's a portal into the artist's life and their unique experiences..
Art is both a reflection of culture and a vital aspect of it.
One of art's most enduring purposes is to communicate cultural values and traditions.
In the historical or anthropological view, art also creates a useful record of the aesthetic values of the particular era and culture in which it was created..
Representing what we see visually has always been important to us as humans.
And cave paintings were the original urge of this expression.
Art has remained throughout our evolution..
(If you see no imperfections in your art, look closer – they're there.) With imperfections accepted, you then have to decide if you are happy with the result.
If the answer is “yes”, then you are finished.
It's really that simple..
Artists must be responsible for their own work.
This will help them to know when a painting is finished.
The goal is to move the painting forward to a finished place, not to make a lateral move where the painting does not improve.
If you cannot see a clear way to improve the painting, then the painting is done..
Pre-history.
The oldest known paintings are approximately 40,000 years old, found in both the Franco-Cantabrian region in western Europe, and in the caves in the district of Maros (Sulawesi, Indonesia)..
Can we ever call a work finished? Leonardo Da Vinci said no; rather, we just abandon..
Indeed, art seems to be the quintessential example of an end in itself.
To say that the artist has no conception of meaning and engages in the artistic process for the sake of utility alone seems to miss the point..
Everything has boundaries, even art.
At any given time, artistic experience is somehow limited.
There are many different boundaries in art: boundaries of style, material boundaries, cognitive boundaries, aesthetic boundaries and so on..
To what extent can an artist push his work, if you think there are limits? The only real limits to art are the limits of the artist as a human being and the world in which we live.
The limits of their imagination — since art is an expression of the mind..
Art can uplift, provoke, soothe, entertain and educate us and is an important part of our lives.
At its most profound level, it takes us from the everyday to a place of introspection and contemplation, to see the bigger picture of the human condition..
“All there is at the end,” Danto wrote, “is theory, art having finally become vaporized in a dazzle of pure thought about itself, and remaining, as it were, solely as the object of its own theoretical consciousness.”Mar 31, 2015.
Several factors determine the value of fine art—the size of the edition (that is, the number of prints the artist makes of one work), the significance of the work, the condition of the print, and whether it is signed and numbered by the artist..
But the process on an individual project in making art can seem to have an ending to it
Depending on how you start it. The ending will depend on the first mark you make or how you put down the first layer as intended in one’s mind. The beginning of the work will decide its ending.
Artists turned away from the classical tradition
Embracing new media and aesthetic ideals
And art historians shifted their focus from the analysis of art’s formal beauty to interpretation of its cultural meaning. Today we understand beauty as subjective—a cultural construct that varies across time and space.
While most art continues to be primarily visual
And visual analysis is still a fundamental tool used by art historians
Beauty itself is no longer considered an essential attribute of art. Images of Peter and Paul appear much the same through the centuries in Byzantine icons.
By Dr. Beth Harris and Dr. Steven Zucker
One way to understand this is to think about what you "order" to have made for you today. A pizza comes to mind—ordered from the cook at the local pizza parlor—"I'll have a large pie with pepperoni," or a birthday cake from a baker "I'd like a chocolate cake with mocha icing and blue letters that say 'Happy Birthday Jerry.'" Or perhaps you ordered a set of bookshelves from a carpenter, or a wedding dress from a seamstress?
Medieval paintings were often sumptuous objects made with gold and other precious materials. What made these paintings valuable were these materials (blue, for example, was often made from the rare and expensive semi-precious stone, Lapis Lazuli). These materials were lavished on objects to express religious devotion or to reflect the wealth and status of its patron. Today the value of a painting is often the result of something entirely different. Picasso could have painted on a napkin and it would have been incredibly valuable just because it was by Picasso—art is now an expression of the artist and materials often have little to do with the worth of the art.
Everyone decides for themselves what art is though the more you learn about art
The artist
The context in which the art was madeThe more informed your view will be. Why is Damien Hirst considered an 'art star'?
