Surely nothing has to listen to so many stupid remarks as a painting in a museum. ~Edmond & Jules de Goncourt
How interesting to look at Art museums from the point of view of the works of Art and how it is to stand around listening to various remarks…
Immediately I felt that we are all moving works of Art and the planet is the museum, and we all have our own commentary and perceptions of each other’s Art.
How interesting that the Art can be defined by the viewer and how it changes as new viewers arrive.
I also believe that we change as quickly each time we bump into new people and a new perspective.
I love that I now have this metaphor and I will see myself as a work of Art moving around the planet. But what I love even more is the understanding of how different we see Art and what some find brilliantly incredible, others will pass right by.
How cool that Art changes by the viewer… yet not at all.
The Art stands unchanged yet changed depending upon the perception.
I love that I am like Art, that some will understand and appreciate my contrasts and design, while others will make a cursory glance and walk on by.
But what I love the most, my integrity lies within and remains unchanged by those who view me.
Remarks, even stupid ones will not change the Art.
(Is Art imitating life or life imitating Art?)
