He whose soul longs to experience the whole range of hitherto recognized values and desirabilities, and to circumnavigate all the coasts of this ideal "Mediterranean Sea" who, from the adventures of his most personal experience, wants to know how it feels to be a conqueror and discoverer of the ideal - as likewise how it is with the artist, the saint, the legislator, the sage, the scholar, the devotee, the prophet, and the godly Nonconformist of the old style: __ requires one thing above all for that purpose, great healthiness - such healthiness as one not only possesses, but also constantly acquires and must acquire, because one continually sacrifices it again, and must sacrifice it! __ And now, after having being long on the way in this fashion, we Argonauts of the Ideal, who are more courageous perhaps than prudent, and often enough shipwrecked and brought to grief, nevertheless, as said above, healthier than people would like to admit, dangerously healthy, always healthy again, __ it would seem, as if in recompense for it all, that we still have an undiscovered country before us, the boundaries of which no one has yet seen, a beyond to all countries and corners of the ideal known hitherto, a world so over-rich in the beautiful, the strange, the questionable, the frightful, and the divine, that our curiosity as well as our thirst for the possession thereof, have got out of hand __ alas! that nothing will any longer satisfy us! I've always liked Andrea Zittel . I first saw her work at the Whitney where she had a film on her daily routine as an artist at Joshua Tree. I appreciated it because the film had a great sense of humor. And then, of course, there's the desert. As Andrea herself has to say of the desert: "After living in the desert for six years, I have come to believe that most of us are drawn here because each of us is looking for some version of personal freedom." The A-Z wagons represent small, portable structures, customized by each artist, an ode to personal freedom. Traveling through the desert in my RV, painting, I can totally relate to the need for a space of one's own, even better if we can take it with us on our art journeys. The panel itself meandered across a lot of different territories, from activist 60s art to camping out in a large tent in the middle of the Freize Art Fair, in London. What struck me, however, was just how much fun these artists were having being artists. They seemed to live in a world so far removed from our ordinary world of "getting ahead" and commercial considerations. How refreshing! This is what it must be like to live fully in the artist archetype, not an small pokey garret, starving but noble, but in a world of childlike wonder, innocence, creating magnificent worlds of your own choosing, without regard to whether of not anyone else gets it. I can't remember the last time I felt like that - probably the last time I was out in the desert. "In one of his letters from Tahiti, Gaugin had written that he felt he had to go back beyond the horses of the Parthenon, back to the rocking-horse of his childhood. It is easy to smile at this preoccupation of modern artists with the simple and the childlike, and yet it should not be hard to understand it. For artists feel that this directness and simplicity is the one thing that cannot be learnt. Every other trick of the trade can be acquired. Every effect becomes easy to imitate after it has been shown that it can be done. Many artists feel that the museums and exhibitions are full of works of such amazing facility and skill that nothing is gained by continuing along those lines; that they are in danger of losing their souls and becoming slick manufacturers of paintings or sculptures unless they become as little children.

I especially enjoyed what he had to say about Art and the Soul. "Art is communion of one soul to another, offered through the symbolic language of form and content. An artist creates a sensible form, through harmonious use of the medium (paint, clay, music, and so on), which expresses content, by subject and feeling. We absorb metaphysical sustenance from the balance of formal means and expressive ends. Art expands the appreciator's consciousness by providing a glimpse into the hearts and minds of strange beautiful humanity. Art is nutrition for the Soul. The soul cannot thrive on junk food. Many artists develop technical skills - they can draw, paint, or play an instrument - but seem to have little that is fresh, original, or worthwhile to say. Other artists really have something important to express but lack the skills or courage to express it. Rare is the artist with skill who offers a significant statement.

The lead article this month (by Jack White ) poses the intriguing question: Are you an Astronaut or an Astronomer? The idea behind the article is that there are two kinds of artists, Astronauts and Astronomers. "Astronauts actually believe that they can make it to the stars; Astronomers only dream of what it would be like." In other words, it is your beliefs that determine if you will make it as an artist or not. If you believe in yourself, not one person, insiitution, government or structure can stop you. There is one artist we know who won't pull up the stake. He has immense talent; he is one of the most brilliant people I know. But he is determined to remain an Astronomer and cannot get it into his thick head that he can become an Astronaut. The truth of the matter is, most of the Astronomers are smarter, and many are better educated, than the Astronauts. Yet it is the Astronaut who walks in space - the same space the Astronomer gazes at during the darkest nights."

Technorati Tags: art , artists , spiritual art I caught up with some old friends there and had a wonderful dinner in an old building along the sea shore in Provincetown. The building was bought up many years ago by a collective of artists and writers. Amongst the company that night were fellow artists and sea-faring adventurers who spent most of their time in boats on the ocean. One lovely man that I met, Richard Bailey, was captain of the Tall Ship Rose , a replica of an 18th century Royal Navy frigate that cruised the American coast during the Revolutionary War. The boat was used during the making of Peter Weir's "Master and Commander. "The Fine Arts Work Center buildings are historic art studios in a town that is famous for its contributions to art history. For over a hundred years, artists and writers have found the atmosphere of Provincetown on the tip of Cape Cod particularly suited to them. Henry Thoreau was probably the first writer to come to Provincetown, in 1849. Eugene O'Neill wrote his first play here at a time when he was known to the art community as an obscure writer of one-act plays. O'Neill's first play was produced by the Provincetown Players the winter of 1916, before he went to New York with his actors to win recognition and fame. John Dos Passos lived and worked in Provincetown. In the late 20's, he was known by the artists not as a writer but as a painter who showed his paintings with them at the local Provincetown Art Association. Stanley Kunitz, Norman Mailer, Alan Dugan, B. H. Friedman, and Mark Strand are contemporary writers who have lived and worked in Provincetown and are active in the Work Center Program. Charles Hawthorne is credited with founding the first art colony in America in Provincetown in 1899. Starting in 1914, Hawthorne lived and worked in studios of what is now the Fine Arts Work Center. Among his students in the teens were Edwin Dickinson, Ross Moffett and Karl Knaths, all living and working in the studios of 24 Pearl Street, and later gaining national and international acclaim. Fritz Bultman, Paul Burlin, Adolph Gottlieb, Helen Frankenthaler, Myron Stout, and Marsden Hartley are among other famous artists who worked in these studios. Hans Hofmann, Franz Kline, Mark Rothko, Robert Motherwell, Claus Oldenburg, Milton Avery, Jack Tworkov and Edward Hopper have all participated in the art community here. Important paintings by Charles Demuth, Marsden Hartley, Stuart Davis, and Edward Hopper have centered around their involvement in this small seaport town."

Cape Cod has a rich tradition as an artist's colony with painters such as Henry Hensch and Charles Hawthorn, the impressionists, through to Hans Hoffman and Mark Rothko, the abstract expressionists. Thoreau made Cape Cod famous in his book of the same name. Featured fantasy art Artist - Meet a new name in our Gallery-worldwide. We present you Evgeny Agnin's collection of surrealistic artworks.

Andrea and her friends who live at Joshua Tree talked about their influences and experiences on building community in the context of art. Here's what the Whitney had to say about the event: "Well known for her research and design of domestic and external environments, Andrea Zittel creates experimental models for contemporary life, or what she calls "systems for living." Her current project, the desert studio and home A-Z West in Joshua Tree, California, explores all aspects of the everyday, from home furniture and house guests to food and clothing, as part of her investigation into the contours of human nature and human needs. One such A-Z project, Wagon Stations, comprises mobile living stations customized by individuals invited to join Zittel's desert community; several will be on view beginning February 9 at the Whitney Museum at Altria."

Gombrich "The Artist's Mentor : Inspiration from the World's Most Creative Minds" (Ian Jackman) Posted by Josse on February 21, 2006 at 05:37 PM in Art , Art Journeys , Artists , Culture | Permalink | Comments (0) | TrackBack (0) Einstein Finds Inspiration in the Music of Mozart A recent issue of the New York Times featured an inspiring essay by Arthur. L. Miller about two giants of modern history...... Last year, the 100th anniversary of E=mc2 inspired an outburst of symposiums, concerts, essays and merchandise featuring Albert Einstein. This year, the same treatment is being given to another genius, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, born on Jan. 27, 250 years ago. There is more to the dovetailing of these anniversaries than one might think. Einstein once said that while Beethoven created his music, Mozart's "was so pure that it seemed to have been ever-present in the universe, waiting to be discovered by the master." Einstein believed much the same of physics, that beyond observations and theory lay the music of the spheres — which, he wrote, revealed a "pre-established harmony" exhibiting stunning symmetries. The laws of nature, such as those of relativity theory, were waiting to be plucked out of the cosmos by someone with a sympathetic ear. Thus it was less laborious calculation, but "pure thought" to which Einstein attributed his theories. Einstein was fascinated by Mozart and sensed an affinity between their creative processes, as well as their histories......... .....he (Einstein) wrote four papers that were destined to change the course of science and nations. His ideas on space and time grew in part from aesthetic discontent. It seemed to him that asymmetries in physics concealed essential beauties of nature; existing theories lacked the "architecture" and "inner unity" he found in the music of Bach and Mozart. In his struggles with extremely complicated mathematics that led to the general theory of relativity of 1915, Einstein often turned for inspiration to the simple beauty of Mozart's music. "Whenever he felt that he had come to the end of the road or into a difficult situation in his work, he would take refuge in music," recalled his older son, Hans Albert. "That would usually resolve all his difficulties." In the end, Einstein felt that in his own field he had, like Mozart, succeeded in unraveling the complexity of the universe. This story is a beautiful example of the power of art and music to uplift and inspire. It also reminds us of the compelling and potent connection between science, art, and music - that a holistic approach to living is what we humans need to prosper and achieve great things!

There has been much speculation down through history as to who's portrait it might be. We know that it was very important to Leonardo. He carried it with him everywhere. Why was he so attached? Hauntingly beautiful, the mystery of her smile has provoked much discussion. What is she smiling about? Leonardo used a special techique called sfumato - the blurred outline and soft edges, with indistinct corners of the eyes and corners of the mouth. Who was she? An unrequited love affair? One suggestion that I agree with, is that she was a self-portrait. I believe that Leonardo Da Vinci was painting his Soul. Michael J. Gelb in his book How to Think Like Leonardo Da Vinci has found evidence for this from Dr Lillian Schwartz of Bell Laboratories and author of The Computer Artist's Handbook. And then, of course, there is "The Da Vinci Code" which has been unleashing a torrent of interest and controversy, especially within the Vatican. But this is the story of another post.. .
