Art, the Key to Individualism Essays

Art, the Key to Individualism Essays Art, the Key to Individualism Essay Art, the Key to Individualism Essay destroyed, we can feel that this was probably created through a profound upset in the life of its creator. Maybe a love triangle, or worse yet; only jealousy. Whatever the case, I felt it was true art with actual definition. 5) Untitled, but illustrated; is a genderless, yet fine; silhouette of a person. By: Tania Bruguera (Cuban, 2003) * What I see / My take: Although the outline lacks a firm gender, the very forthright performer turned artiste, is nothing but precise and direct in demonstrating the significance. The only colors notable is the brown used to darken the prolific amount of nails in the mouth of our main attraction, and the red painted in horrific amounts, ejecting from any open space that the lips could endure. * This painting in particular, I could not completely ingest, and with only scant knowledge of her country (other than the stolen and self-proclaimed Presidency, by once attorney turned Prime Minister; Fidel Castro), I did not wish to assume. However, upon researching Bruguera further, I confirmed her rebellion, and alas; was able to enjoy her diverse techniques, yet insufficiently represented; fight for her country. 6) The example for my 6th piece of art, I would instead, like to use one that I would personally have to top the list with; a portrait of my son, my baby boy; Robert Emiliano Lara, so named after my exceptionally unique Uncle Robert and also after Emiliano Zapata, by his father. Zapata is, in fact, the owner of one of our favorite quotes: I would rather die standing, than to live on my knees. * Canvas generously donated by: Jose N. Lara, outstanding husband and exceptional father, a cut exceeding the rest! * Last of all, but of the utmost significance; my association of the aforementioned art, to Oscar Wlde, the mischievous, yet well-to-do, witted writer. * Again, going beyond what I have in print before me and unable to control my curiosity, I research more of Wildeâ„ ¢s quotes, of which I will share: * All that I desire to point out is the general principle that life imitates art far more than art imitates life. * Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter. * Illusion is the first of all pleasures. * Morality, like art, means drawing a line someplace. * Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known. * What I see / My take: Considering that he had a torturous life, hidden from his true self for the liking of others, ultimately dying when finally free, I believe he may have agreed that; life is never completely understood, reminiscent of my confusion in my interpretation and understanding of what the art was truly representing. Were they emulating their lives, or were their lives emulating their art Just as Wilde expressed, the portrait is for the artist and not the sitter. Also, in stating that illusion is the first of all pleasures, was he then stating that he portrayed himself as something contradictory to the truth I despondently, would have to agree this to be true. In his time, the late 1800â„ ¢s, he was shamed by society, accused of living immorally, and finally imprisoned simply for being himself, one who enjoyed relations with other men. His quote concerning morality, I am sure was written in an unsettled frame of mind, but it is his quote relating individualism to art, that I believe unveils his true character; I think that it was only through his art that he could, in the end; be himself; an individual without a label.
