New York Art Trip (March 7 -10, 2013)

František Kupka, Localization of Graphic Motifs II, 1912–13

In our last post, we said that novelty in art and friendship can lead to enriching experiences by providing us with new visions of our world.  Since the world is in constant evolution, traditional ways in art can easily become obsolete. Exhibits on new art forms that adequately respond to societal transformations of the time can lead the viewer to new dimensions of thought that ultimately reshape the perspective of life.

During New York Art Trip 2013 (March 7-10), we will have the opportunity to see such an exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMa). Inventing Abstraction, 1910–1925 traces the advent of abstraction, a ground-breaking movement that changed art forever and consequently, brought a whole new perspective of the world. The exhibit will showcase more than 400 works from major public and private collections that map out the advent of abstraction and its spread across nations and diverse media, including not only visual arts, but also music, dance and poetry.   By the way, the MoMa in conjunction with Columbia Business School created a very stunning diagram that shows the social and collaborative relationships between all these artists. You can check it out at:  http://www.artnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/1.jpg

Who are we?

We all make art! It is part of culture. It is deeply rooted in human nature as a way of communicating with others. We all need to tell our stories because it is stories that link us all. We are all one, one creative mind! Though, all unique and equipped with unique ways of expressing ourselves. We live in constant search of that unique liberating voice. At Walk the Arts we aim to facilitate our art makers to explore new territories. Our painting classes and art history trips on three continents are meant to be rounded art experiences among small groups of like-minded adults. We offer an environment that fosters creativity. As we always say, art as religion is just a matter of faith. This blog is about living fully the experience of art, about finding our single artistic path, about the joy of art-making. We believe that making art accessible to all will lead to a betterment of our society.

“On Painting” by Gilles Deleuze

 

A blank canvas is a space brimming with possibilities—“a painting to be made,” as Cézanne wrote. It is what Deleuze calls the “catastrophe”—nothing can be seen, yet everything is there as if one were trapped in the eye of a storm. And from this catastrophe, one must find a way out: the very first stroke, a scribble, clichés to be destroyed, “forms that fade away”; erasing, starting over; “the hand, freed from the eye, runs wild,” and then—there! “The color rises,” and so on until the final work emerges.

Let Go! The Artist’s Way of Cooking

 

Ten years ago, here in Tuscany, we decided to write a recipe book but with so many good cookbooks in the market, we needed to propose a new idea. We had to find a modus operandi close to who we are and what we do as visual artists. The answer was in front of us and painting gave it to us: art and color!
