A blog about about painting, design and other aspects of aesthetics along with a dash of non-art topics. The point-of-view is that modernism in art is an idea that has, after a century or more, been thoroughly tested and found wanting. Not to say that it should be abolished -- just put in its proper, diminished place.

Blogging Note
This is to let you know about two changes I made to this blog's infrastructure.
At the top of the left-hand panel is a Google search tool for locating posts containing the item you specify.
And, assuming I didn't screw things up (I can't test this feature from my computers), I dropped comment screening for recent (up to 14 days) comments. I replaced it with the gizmo that asks you to copy letters into an edit box to verify you're a human being and not a spam-bot. This should result in your comment appearing almost immediately.
I hope you find these changes useful.
Don, have you any views on the minor art form on youtube, when someone combines graphic art and a soundtrack? I must say I'm warming to them. Here's a couple of the things I have in mind.

dearieme -- I dunno. To me music is music and art is art unless the music is crafted to some sort of artistic action as in ballet, opera (to some degree) and movies.
ReplyDeleteI don't like having to view art tied to someone else's timeframe as in the Youtube clips. Likewise, I prefer to simply listen to the music strait without someone imposing art that I might not care for on me.
