Question-StateMint

let´s pretend for a moment everything is easy and plain and that doing pretty pictures is the equivalent of making art, and ask ourselves, what would happen?, and then let´s put that aside....

is art really necessary?
would doing beautiful imagery compensate the apparent need of society for art?
wasn´t art evolving into an auto-critical analyzer for our civilized world?
is making up questions about the state of the world in general of any real worth?
would it mean something in the short term our lives represent?
do i know something about anything?
does anyone know something about anything?
is there an entity that knows whats best for all of us?
is art affordable or understandable?

i want to be an instrument for re-structuration, sitting right in the middle of the storm trying to get the grip of the falling rain, i hope asking myself why will be of any help

now i know Gombrich was totally on the spot when he stated that Art doesn´t exist, that there are only artists

anyways...
in the mean time i will continue my efforts in the search fo...

a great fake

we think all the time that art has always been around as it is right now, but this is hardly our reality, we face a system that has been established and cycled around over and over since the dawn of the XVII century, before that there was no specific location for the artist to be encountered, of course that painters existed, that we have had in the past, even in our remotest past there has been painters, but before the XVII century they were considered just that, painters, as there were shoemakers or other artisans or crafstmen, the question back then was, and even now is, is exactly what were or are those "Artists" that we always talk about?, and of course, exactly what is Art?.

there is no real answer, the only true statement might be that art is everything we want to make or think as art, but let´s make clear that pigments have nothing to do with this, neither does marble or gold, not even video, let alone photography or any other form of preconceived support for the "Art", -art can be- that is the only truth, art can be... and of course it will, no matter what it has to do...
