Art Garfunkel? Art Carney? Art Linkletter? Art Fleming? Art Monk? Art Modell? Art Rooney?
What do all these men have in common? Nothing, except they're all named Art and are famous in a variety of culture. And that's what art is if you've ever been to an art museum.
On a recent visit to the Milwaukee Art Museum, my first time in a very long time in one of those, it reminded me of how different not only art is, but how we view art.
Picasso once said, "The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls." Visiting an art museum will do that. It makes you think! Some people can look at a painting and get a whole different perspective than another person. You will also realize there are a variety of ways to express art. Such as this painting:
Some peoples trash is another person's art.
And then there's art that really wants you to think.
"Art is not what you see, but what you make others see." - Edgar Degas
And then, we also have art that really isn't art at all, or is it?
This just reminds me of the game pieces for Candyland Game.
Everyone has different tastes in a variety of culture, foods, sports, etc. For myself, this was my favorite painting:
Which goes to show how much different my tastes are from yours. But that's okay, that's what makes each of us individually unique.
Remember, "A work of art is above all an adventure of the mind."
