Some of Today’s Most Prominent Artists on Courage, Creativity, Criticism, Success, and What It Means to Be a Great Artist by Maria Popova Wisdom from Ai Weiwei, Marina Abramović, Damien Hirst, Laurie Simmons, Carroll Dunham, and more. “Whether you succeed or not is irrelevant — there is no such thing,” Georgia O’Keeffe wrote in her spectacular letter to Sherwood Anderson. “Making your unknown known is the important thing — and keeping the unknown always beyond you…” And yet, as human beings, we orient ourselves in the darkness of the unknown by grasping blindly for familiar points of reference, seeking to construct a compass out of similarities and contrasts relative to our familiar world, and out of those we try to construct a framework for what we call success. This is especially true of such nebulous subjects as art, where there is no true North, no universal gold standard of success, so we seek tangibles — like the market — to orient ourselves in the maze of merit. Thornton writes in the introduction: Artists don’t just make art. Echoing Ursula K. Many people spend so much time doubting. Share on Tumblr
- Paper Weave I thought I'd give you a wee respite from all of the holiday crafts. Although this would make a wonderful Christmas or Hanukkah present. Never too early to start. This is one of those art-projects-for-kids that can be adapted for a sophisticated look. I see these at high-end craft shows all the time. I didn't have any old paintings so I wet a piece of white card stock, dropped food coloring on it, tilted it back and forth, ran it under the faucet again and dabbed it with a paper towel. I placed a long piece of double-stick tape at the top of a piece of copy paper and put the vertical strands next to each other, then wove in the horizontal pieces. I love putting these in large frames with big mats and small openings. Pretty elegant art made from food coloring - who would have guessed?
Bayeuxtapeten Bayeuxtapeten är en berömd medeltida textil som skildrar normandernas erövring av England år 1066. Bayeuxtapeten, som är unik i sitt slag, är inte bara ett konstverk, utan även ett historiskt monument. Tapeten redogör inte bara för en historisk händelse, utan ger även en ovärderlig inblick i den medeltida människans liv och vardag. Tapeten, som sannolikt utfördes cirka 1076, omtalas för första gången 1476 i ett inventarium över föremålen i katedralen i Bayeux, där den tidigare hade varit upphängd tillfälligtvis. Bayeuxtapeten beställdes troligen av biskopen Odo av Bayeux och Vilhelm Erövrarens halvbror, och skänktes till katedralen i Bayeux. Bayeuxtapeten består av en bindel i ett stycke, av sannolikt ursprungligen oblekt linne, som tiden har gett samma färg som brunt hollandslärft. Broderiet innehåller i sina bilder ett försvar för Vilhelm Erövrarens anspråk på England och en teckning av vad som hände vid erövringen. Källor[redigera | redigera wikitext]
