I am somewhat of a retro gal. I love the art movements of a century ago. The ones that lasted for a few years only, Cubism and Futurism but, the ones that have made such an enormous impact on the world of the following hundred years and beyond. When I think of it as I do now, those are the only two art movements that I love at all, the rest is in a way passe. Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque - now those guys were authentic bona fide genius visionaries. We haven't really seen the likes of them since then from my view point although there are others from their time period that I also adore.
I found this along the way today and only hope I get a chance to see this show. Will it travel to my part of the world? Bob Duggan has written a rather cool article and although, I am not sure if I will be able to see the show, if it will be traveling to the New York City area but my guys are together at the Kimbell Art Museum, how very cool is that?
The Saatchi people just made my day with this fascinating article published on The Art Newspaper. A recent debate on trends in the art world including some quotes such as the following that gave me my first real laugh of the day:
"Find me one curator at the Tate who thinks Hirst's art matters and is meaningful," proclaimed Lewis (making chair Tim Marlow, director of exhibitions at White Cube - Hirst's dealer - a little jittery).
With the world and the world's oceans trending the way they have been for a long time and for other reasons that involve movements and trends outside of human control, we are in for some very problematic times and this according to a recent, Huffington Post article. The world's oceans have been distressed and changes will affect us all in the times to come.
I am posting it here for your consideration. Notice of this trend relates to directly to the Neptune in Pisces trend which is underway now and for many years to come. (For those interested, please visit my astrology analysis blog, http://weeklyastrology.blogspot.com/.

The New York Times just published an article on what is being called, "stereo blindness," a visual deviation that artists to see the external world from a different perspective with interesting sometimes 'genius' results.
I realize that perhaps visitors who are artists may find this info informative too but due to their own practices and understanding may know of this instinctively or otherwise.
Many people who are not 'dreamers' or artists and are probably unaware of this concept and practice so; I am adding the link (here under the New York Times mentioned above) so that readers can get the complementary understanding of what goes into appreciating non traditional or conventional photography imaging for example, special effects (blur, haze etc.). There is a direct relationship to artistic creation, vision and daydreaming.
The article is interesting and notes differences in visual perception among artists and non artists.
I am posting this now and will return to my own personal feelings on the topic in the near future.
Thank you for visiting, return again soon.
