Art is a diverse range of human activity, and resulting product, that involves creative or imaginative talent expressive of technical proficiency, beauty, emotional power, or conceptual ideas.[1][2][3] Clockwise from upper left: an 1887 self-portrait by Vincent van Gogh; a female ancestor figure by a Chokwe artist; detail from The Birth of Venus (c. 1484–1486) by Sandro Botticelli; and an Okinawan Shisa lion There is no generally agreed definition of what constitutes art,[4][5][6] and its interpretation has varied greatly throughout history and across cultures. In the Western tradition, the three classical branches of visual art are painting, sculpture, and architecture.[7] Theatre, dance, and other performing arts, as well as literature, music, film and other media such as interactive media, are included in a broader definition of the arts.[1][8] Until the 17th century, art referred to any skill or mastery and was not differentiated from crafts or sciences. In modern usage after the 17th century, where aesthetic considerations are paramount, the fine arts are separated and distinguished from acquired skills in general, such as the decorative or applied arts. The nature of art and related concepts, such as creativity and interpretation, are explored in a branch of philosophy known as aesthetics.[9] The resulting artworks are studied in the professional fields of art criticism and the history of art. #snsinstitutions #designthinking #designthinkers

A few tips on preserving your newly acquired works of art.

The Pose - A guest curation by Hamilton-Selway Fine Art. Figurative art, a significant presence in the realm of artistic expression, traces its roots back to the earliest cave drawings, notably exemplified in the timeless murals of Chauvet Cave in France. Yet, amidst this enduring tradition, there emerges a distinctive focus on “The Pose,” a nuanced facet that artists have tirelessly honed and refined throughout the years of artistic evolution. Shifting away from the rigidity characteristic of 18th and 19th-century portraiture, a palpable transformation takes shape. Figures, once confined to static representations, now burst forth with dynamic vitality. The artistic trajectory pivots away from stagnation, paving the way for a newfound appreciation of dance-like movements, genuine reactions, and captivating poses. “The Pose” encapsulates a curated selection of works that serve as a testament to the artist’s mastery in portraying movement and a profound sense of expressiveness. In this exploration, the static gives way to the dynamic, and puts the viewer into the realm of kinetic artistry.

#MyConclusion on two Art critics #Rosenberg and #Greenberg I penned 14yrs ago...🤣🤣🤣 The two art critics to me as designer are exact opposite of the same coin which could never be same but always achieve the same goal. As an artist the value of art in the work not the fact on uses formal approaches or non-formal techniques. This two aspects form what I would call an Artist formalist/non formalist. His formalist part is the understanding of art as discipline to create masterpiece artwork and non-formalist parts the intuitive aspects on an artist and the ability to express one's self through a brush and a canvas.

"⁠Colors Unseen" new series by @⁠caseybaugh⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Colors Unseen:⁠ ⁠ The beauty of butterflies has been revered by ancient civilizations for thousands of years. ⁠ ⁠ Their colorful wings do not reflect lights as normal pigmented surfaces do. ⁠ ⁠ Instead, their microscopic scales, refract, and bend light, resulting in some of the most vibrant and iridescent colors ever seen in nature. ⁠ ⁠ Because of the position of its eyes, a butterfly will go it’s entire life, unable to see the beauty of its own wings. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠_____________⁠ ⁠ Baugh's art has evolved over time to become more narrative. Though still maintaining figures as his prime subject matter, he is telling more stories, and his series and exhibits are becoming more thematic. On a constant quest to push new boundaries, he is persistent in experimenting with his inspirations and artistic translations, pursuing more complicated compositions and achieving grander shows. Experience with electrical engineering as well as video and movie-making has attributed greatly in his use of props, set building, lighting, and translates to the overall harmony of his visual layouts.⁠ ⁠ #CaseyBaugh⁠ #JMartManagement #Contemporary #painter #Contemporarypainter #art #museum #culture #painting #oilpainting #artsy #realism  ⁠ https://lnkd.in/gxHvEdnk

“As an art historical term, Art Deco is particularly divisive and imprecise. Historians hate it because it is a catch-all for the dozen or more artistic and aesthetic movements that exploded across the first decades of the last century. So, let’s try to be more specific. The Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, Chrysler Building: Art Deco. Glimmering aluminum, bronze, and chrome pressed into seamless, puckered shapes? Art Deco. Georgia O’Keeffe painting skyscrapers in Midtown Manhattan? Zoot Suiters in East Los Angeles? Diego Rivera’s Communist-inflected murals in Detroit? Langston Hughes writing poetry in Harlem? Art Deco. Chiseled stone etched with heroic figures, lush acanthus, or meandering patterns? That’s Art Deco, too. Dorothy’s glimmering heels, ‘Take the ‘A’ Train’ and ‘Rhapsody in Blue,’ all Art Deco. In these examples, we see a steady progression of forms that grow more rarefied as they rise to a crescendo. But also, hints of a deeply-rooted conservatism can be found, of accepted icons and motifs that are made new by their repetition, by their simultaneous deployment. “To experience Art Deco is to be presented with a variety of symbols from which to pick and choose the ones that speak to us most.” Antonio Pacheco examines a style that is suddenly everywhere. This piece is published as a collaboration between Dirt and New York Review of Architecture. https://lnkd.in/dmQkjzmY

Venturing further into Ian Fulgar's artistic realm, one is immediately struck by the harmonious blend of precision and abstraction. Each brushstroke, each line, is a testament to his architectural background, yet there's an ethereal quality, a fluidity that speaks to the ever-changing nature of cybernetic systems. His canvases become arenas where deterministic structures meet the unpredictable dance of life's variables. The depth of Fulgar's understanding of cybernetics is not just an academic exercise; it's a lived experience. His art captures the oscillations of feedback loops, the push and pull of stimuli and responses, and the intricate choreography of systems seeking equilibrium. It's a visual representation of the questions that have intrigued thinkers for centuries: How do systems self-regulate? What drives adaptation and evolution? And in the grand tapestry of existence, where do the boundaries between the organic and the mechanical lie? #ianfulgar #cyberneticart #metaconstructivism #artandai #digitaldiscourse #systemicartistry #lifeandtech #contemporarycanvas #philosophicalart #bridgebetweeneras #studio #artstudio #art #painting #artist #artsy #fineart #artinprogress #artnow #artstudy #artdiscover
