I was very lucky to meet an artist. It changed my life. He is an artist of life. Does that always come together?
Do you have to drink a lot of alcohol and use drugs to be an artist? Or do you have a responsibility to sense time quality and express it? Where are we heading to?
In the past artists often were ahead of their time. They hung around together and influenced each other.
On this site I already met some very interesting person. Are there any more artists, life artists or friends of art?
I think, art is kind of "precipitator" in my case. It precipitates the beauty, the good, the aesthetic from my very soul. Otherwise my soul is nothing but a primordial soup: it may cause everything but means barely nothing.
Thank you for your reply. I think everybody is this beauty. It´s so important that artists express it for everyone to see. A painting in a living room should help to recognice this beauty inside....c.
...Artists are above all also barometers of current events. For this very reason, they are very often
not fully integrated into the social order. They need a 'distance' to be able to perceive currents.
And ... Art can never be concerned only with beauty. The consumer may not like that, but it is a fact.
In times like ours, art is heavily censored again. Nothing has changed in that respect. Today, the
censorship is merely by the masses, whose need for a 'picture-to-go-with-the-sofa' or 'light-music-in-
the-background' aso. has a strong influence on what happens in the ART-world.
Works of art are a kind of Research Mission. To understand artworks, one has to look/listen/feel
inside oneself. They rarely reveal themselves in a superficial way....

I disagree at some exact point. I belive in that "Ars Gratia Artis". If some makes so-called art for masses or depending on the demands from society, I'd rather call them "merchants" than artists. Art rather favors "aesthetes" than "consumers".
Art means for me one of the highest form of connection with the power of universe, showing all in a completely universal way - giving light to each and everything!
To me Art means freedom. It allows me to do as I want, paint at the spur of the moment. If I 'plan' Art, it could become kind of mechanical which I don't like it to be.
Art is an expression of human imagination. Alcohol and Drugs have an influence on imagination. I guess problem start when someone try to live in an imaginary world using Alcohol and Drugs.
