I was reading a book about the impressionists over the summer. They were people that had everyday problems just like you and me. They were trying their best to make good and interesting art and support themselves in a time that art wasn’t necessarily the way to do that. Sounds familiar doesn’t it?
We live in a unique time. Future generations will look back on the war and want to view the “canon” of art at this time. The birth of the Internet will be studied. The World Wide Web allows global exchange that other art movements did not have access to. There are new technological innovations that have created new kinds of digital artists. In addition it marks the recent beginning of a new millennium.
Timing can sometimes be everything, I think the convergence of world events, technological advancements and the time makes this THE BEST TIME IN HISTORY TO BE AN ARTIST.
After the Dark Ages there was a Renaissance. Could we be there again?
May All Your Wills Be Your Own.
