Magritte- Art for the Analytical Mind

I was never a big fan of his style of painting, but I can certainly respect the thought that goes into this art. Pretty cool, I'd say, especially when you consider the titles. This one is called "The Human Condition." So, what does it mean?

Or consider this one called "The Son of Man." An allusion to the Creation story and its effect on us perhaps?

Pollack vs. Rothko

So I was having a conversation with a friend who detests Pollack's art but loves Rothko's. So I told him why and was met with an immediate, "GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" I guess that means I was right. Muahaha. I think Pollack is simply about dancing with paint on a stick and seeing what happens, so it's about a lack of structure, and Rothko has a formula- something that you can wrap your brain around. They're both about emotion through color, but one is emotion within reason and the other is just about letting emotion take over. I think that's the kicker- it's hard to just let it all go.

CRAZY BUSY

I have been TERRIBLE at keeping up with this whole blog thing. My business is keeping me extremely busy and I apologize to those of you who check in only to see that I haven't written anything in MONTHS!!! I'll be better. :)
