Art, Media & Beauty

The world of Art in its on-going evolution, entirely... (In the 21st century) for example, the "Anything Goes Ethos" has become a political mine field of egos' and opinions.

Money, as always, dictates, "taste", which of course is relative. We view a work of art and see something, whether technical, subject matter or some content that brings forth our emotions, conjures feelings that have never been experienced before.

There are four sides to art:

* Technical

* Emotional

* Political

* Beauty

Though in the end, art is not about economics, but what the representation means to us personally.

Painting, as an art form, has diminished over the last 300 years.

In my opinion, (which means absolutly nothing), painting, drawing, architecture and what now stands for literature, has, for the part, gone to the dogs.

But when one studies history, discovers that social, technical and political "tastes" change. Similar to the earth turning and circulating the sun with mind-boggling percision, perceptions change, and what was beautiful in the past is now boring, ugly and not worth the time of day. A white canvas with a red line running down the middle, sold for $1,000,000 a few months ago in New York. Why? Because it was deemed "beautiful".

Fashion,, investment opportunities, and the world's general intelligence has dwindled.

In the past, fashion was dictated by the "elites"; now fashion starts at the botttom and gradually rises. Every so-called "celebrity", for example, has a tatto; it has now become "cool" to have "ink" on one's back side or one's arm. Not too long ago tatto's were something for the "boy's", the fighting Navel forces, the men who were forced to kill despite their personnal views; i.e WW1, WW2. etc.

Fashion has now become a false media creatiion. Art, unfortunately, in terms of the ticket paying masses, something to see, to be "seen" as viewing, but when at a diner party, asking a question like, "What did you fell about Mozart's First Symphoney tonight?"

"Who"?

Point made!

It is all about appearences, substance has gone by the way side.

These musings have become irelevant.

Tomorow is another day.

Emotion: Concerned, Angry and Tired.
