Elements of Art
A line when vertical is a figure
A line when horizontal is a landscape
A line when on a diagonal recedes into space
A line when it returns to itself becomes a shape
Lines create emotion
Color creates space
Color creates emotion
Value creates space
Value creates emotion
Texture creates space
Texture creates emotion
Art is emotion made tangible
Important Artists
Important Artists
Rembrandt and Cezanne because their work got better with age
Klee, because he makes me realize that simple ideas are the most complex and the most rewarding
Kandinsky, because his work was the first to teach me about the levels of meaning in abstraction
Twackman, because his landscapes are about how to feel about place and process
Church, because his majestic vision is his own creation
Monet, because I see his hand and eye take risks
Hofmann because he controls and frees the spirit
Heartfield and Goya because they do not look away
There are others, but I agree with Hillel
“the rest is commentary”
What makes my art
Color filled landscapes that can become abstractions
Realistic images of streams,waves,and waterfalls that lift the spirt.
The human figure
The Holocaust because it happened
Each is important to me
