One last weekend art ping.

Let Sam Cree or me know if you want on or off this ping list.

This article is really dense, and I wonder if it is not as dense and theoretical (and self-justifying) as some post-modernist theory.

The last two paragraphs have the meat of the article. However, I think artists should just be free to express themselves in whatever mode they wish: realism, illustration, abstraction or anywhere in between. Then let others say if they succeed or not. Luckily, in this budding age of the internet, there can be a much wider audience of appreciation than just the NYC critics, curators and dealers.

Perhaps we should start a new art ping list or series. Post images of your favorite "unknown" artists, and let's see what's out there. Let's discuss them. Maybe we can all learn something. What are your favorite on-line galleries?

BTW, I am doing a presentation in the fall on contemporary American art and what the American influence in art has been across the country and around the world. So I really am interested in new art out there, especially the unknown artists (and, for this paper, those artists in the West or so inspired by the West.)

The article is proof that just as there are painters who are not quite artists, there are also authors who are not quite writers.

Check out Craig Frasier from Air Syndicate.....Juxtapose magazine is worth a look too.

Howdi Republicanprofessor! I remember talking to you before on new art and I was mentioning animation... I think the new art form will be taking animation to a very high level. They will animate actors with such life like qualities that you would think they were actually filmed. You remember the problem in art between the real work and the forgery. That dilemma will apply to film where a panel of experts can't tell difference between the real movie and the animated forgery. For example, two showings of Casablanca but one is an animated forgery... but who can tell? They look and sound identical!
