- I once heard that 'Bad Art' is more tragically beautiful than 'Good Art' because it documents human failure. But what is "Bad" or "Good" Art?

ReplyDeleteThe second one seems to me to yhave so much to say... would love to know what it all means
ReplyDeleteWhoisAnn,
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you liked my painting. Here is a little about it: In the middle is the traditional Sugar Skull Sugar Skull, starting at the upper left hand cornor, is the Mexica symbol for flower or "Xochitl", on the upper right hand cornor is the Virgen of Guadalupe and patron saint of Mexico, the lower right hand cornor hold the Mexica symbol for movement or "Olin" and finally on the lower left hand cornor is the sacred heart, a symbol widely seen on mexican art. I also have scattered "Loteria" card around the piece. Loteria is a game similar to bingo but played with pictures and is traditional in Mexico. Finally I have included a poem written by the ruler poet Nezahualcoytl (Hungry Coyote) during his life in 1431-72
"I am honored, I am made glad. With sweetness my heart is filled. My soul becomes drunk. I so long for the place of the flowers."
The place of the flowers to the Mexica is something akin to Heaven.

ReplyDeleteWhoisAnn,
