Since we have been studying all these various artists that paint amazing art I decided to share an artist that speaks to me. Between the reading and class I would hope that everyone is pushing themselves in how they view art, if not its ok because at 7 tomorrow in front of Meadows the short bus leaves for an art museum. The work around this article is a work done by the Russian Artist Vladimir Kush, I have been to a show displaying his art and his works in person are breath taking. I remember well because my family was on vacation and I found a building displaying his work and after two hours looking at the pieces of art and talking to the manager I was dragged out so we could finish our vacation. The real draw for me to this artist goes back to our reading about finding art that questions you instead of just applauding you for understanding it. I have no doubt that others may disagree with his work but for me it speaks to me about the perspective of which I view things and than makes me rethink the possible, or at least take me out of the real world for a bit so that I can dream again. I think it captures me because I enter the world by something as simple here as a grand piano or a sunflower and it is transformed into something extraordinary. I do not claim to know what these works mean or why they were painted becasue it would be arrogant to think I could understand and interpret art for others, although I feel like I have a part in the art. The best way I can articulate my thought is by the example of Jesus(wow no ones ever tried using Jesus as a solve all explanation) that the Baptist churchs depicted as being black, they never claimed to know what Jesus looked like for fact but instead take joy in the connection they had with him. I don't really know what this art means for a fact but my interpretation reflects me and allows me to find enjoyment out of what I see. (oh to explain the title, I chose to not have a title because the title won't accurately reflect the article no matter what I name it and to be honest the title means nothing in this context)
