Art is way to express ideas or feelings through an esthetic ability, creating some good or bad sensations into the observant.
Being complicated to understand many of the new art weaves, specifically those views in class which are very controversial for their topics and techniques, however, I find interesting the work from those artist. Although, interesting does not mean beautiful, I think that to explore with new materials and themes that any time ago were taboos create strong sensations among the public.
Thinking in what is art and in its meaning, Andres Serrano achieves to transmit and create a great deal of feeling, may be a lot of these too bad, as a result of the material used in his works. Nevertheless, we should see some aspects important in photography such as balance, composition, color, texture, nuance, and concept that really are very good included in the Serrano´s work.
Great response, Gabriel!
ReplyDeleteI think you and Loyal have some similar opinions about the questions you addressed for this blog. You are certainly correct that S. is not necessarily or exclusively interested in beauty, but that we cannot say he has brought a lack of attention to his task. Whether or not we like Serrano I think we would have to agree that he makes us think about how we engage with art and what our expectations are. In this area, he is extremely successful.
Nice job!
