How private may be the art?

12 years, 22 days ago

What may now hanged on private walls? And who decides? I dared to go outside for a small while and heard quite a few thinking about the art. Returned to my cave, I sat there for a while a little shaken up. Two things struck me: on the one a longing for a "private" art,on the other hand the uncertainty to speak for themselves. Considering this aspect, there is the attitude not being able to hold on his own choice. What is happened?

One gallery owner explained that currently only abstract art sells well. The people who come and stay with her seem to avoid representational because they bring too much emotion.
Another gallery made it clear that they only sell name. Whether appealing art or design, statement or expression is not essential. The name has the value. Is this name bigger than my lover? The economically-investitive approach is lost to me a little actually. I felt we already in a self-conscious era. I was therefore a little surprised. Yet another gallery said that the market is not actually calling the oil painting at the time. Maybe they meant it across the traditional form of arts and crafts.

By contrast, I saw people in the Folkwang Museum, view pictures and experience. I was very touched by the sentiment. There a lot of people were there. They let the images sink in and enjoyed the proximity to the soul clearly. There was this longing to be allowed to take a certain image with the associated soul as a complementary counterpart. Just because the one picture was familiar. Had the creators can sit with that one work-lover together at a table, then the one with the others might have even fraternized.

After this experience, I tried to imagine how my paintings hang in for me unknown rooms and be experienced.
I understand my counterpart when he sees a piece of me, which he took with him in form of a painting or a drawing?
Multicultural and multi-media we move into an era in which everything is permitted. It's great.  Actually.  Actually as a restriction, because we now only have to venture one: to allow us to determine for themselves what is important to us and moves us.  Detached and freed from the endless consultants and thought leaders.   K.C.
