OT - Art Poll
Hi,
What non-beady-type artists have touched you deeply and contributed to your life? Have any of them inspired your overall aesthetic? Who are your favorite artists in other genres? For example - architects, photographers, painters, sculptors, musicians? I know it's hard for me to choose, but some have just touched me in ways no others have. Painters - Monet, Raphael, Edward Hopper, da Vinci, Pollock Sculptors - Calder, Henry Moore, and the Renaissance crowd.... Architects - Gaudi! and Bucky Fuller Photographers - Cunningham, Eisenstaedt, and Ansel Adams (the ususal suspects....) oh, and my husband - Mark Musicians/Singers - Jean Pierre Rampal, operatic tenors, Billie Holiday, Eric Clapton, Van Morrison and the Wicked Tinkers...lol and last, but not least, for overall inspiration - Mother Nature There are more, but I wanted to keep the bandwidth low. Best, Deborah |

I love all the artists from the impressionist period. All the great master
of the 15th and 16th. century. There are so many it is hard to list them all from the Renaissance period. Bead artists it would have to be Sherry Serafini, Carol Cox Wells, and I know I have left out a lot of others I can't remember their names. Roxan "Deborah" wrote in message ...

My grandfather who was self taught, who repaired paintings for the Germans
in WWII, then came to America to work as curator for an art museum in New York. When he got there, the funds for the jobs had dried up and he went to SanFrancisco where he spent 35 years working for Shell Oil, mostly parking cars. However, he collected artists and art work (museum pieces, Durer, 14th century wood cuts, Faberge, presentation dishes using by Russian royalty, etc), so we grew up with a knowledge of the Great Artists and musicians, and also knowing many of his local artist friends, like Beniam Bufano. My grandmother who collected innovative thinkers. She used to make herself available to immigrants and had many friend who were inventors and intellectuals. The daughter f the guy who invented extruded pipe was a prime mover in Art Therapy. My grandmother also saw my mother through the publishing of two books before she left high school. My Aikido instructor, who emphasizes the art and philosophy of martial arts, instead of the use of violence. Kosuko Smith, who taught calligraphy at our martial arts retreat, and sells her calligraphy work internationally (including Asia). She also paints with oils and acrylics and sells her painting for 5 or 10 thousand dolloars. She teaches through touch, she is a healer of body and heart. David Foster who taught art at the junior college in So Lake Tahoe. Another person who was the very soul and gentleness, but was terrifically strong. He taught many courses, always drawing out the best efforts of his students. When I finally saw his own work I was stunned, partly because of his humility. I loved his classes. He always encouraged me to push my limits and turn in work that literally filled his requirements, but did something completely different at the same time. Frank Nelson, my psychologist who teaches me to see my self correctly and thereby see everything else more clearly. For, as David Foster told us, the most important tool or quality an artist can have is eyes that see. That's a good start. I have been exposed to so much art for such a long time, that it's not the individual painters or artists, but the people who opened my eyes who have had the greatist artistic influence on me.

I had an art teacher named Bea Robertson who taught at our local library for
free. She always sought to draw out our gifts, not to replicate her own. She even let (well, encouraged) me to bring my children to class, and she loved everything they did. One of my favorite pieces was a floral that I had carefully drawn - probably too tightly - which my son took a red crayon to while my back was turned. Happily his contribution caused me to end up with a much looser composition! LOL I took classes from her for several years before I even saw anything she created. She taught us to how to give and receive an honest critique - and how to grow. I owe a lot to her, and miss her, and haven't been able to paint since she died. I think she would have enjoyed my excursions into jewelry though, especially free-form peyote.

That's hard for me, because I often know pieces of art, but don't remember
the artist's name. I know I love Mother Nature best of all - mostly for her very ordered, yet sublime art that people sometimes tend to miss. The spiral, which is very mathematically perfect and appears everywhere. Flowers which come in an infinite number of colors and textures, and are symmetrical and subtle in their design. Misty forests which feel soft and glowy in the early evening. I know I love Vincent Van Gogh. Escher. S. Dali. Da Vinci. I like a lot of the Rennaisance (?) period - paintings of curvy, goddess-like women. I love anything slightly gothic or fairy-like, but know no well-known artists' names. I know I loved the arcitecture of the cathedrals I saw in Germany when I was there in high school - as the Berlin wall was being taken down. I was particularly awestruck by the massive cathedral in Koln - very gothic and tons of intricate stained glass. There's so much more, but my mind can't come up with them right now. And as far as sound goes, I like so many, I can't mention them all here. However, Dave Matthews Band's "One Sweet World" comes to mind as a definite favorite. -- Kandice Seeber Air & Earth Designs http://www.lampwork.net Hi, What non-beady-type artists have touched you deeply and contributed to your life?

What non-beady-type artists have touched you deeply and contributed to your life? My daughter. http://www.PictureTrail.com/gid2568695 She's adorable! My kids would always run out into the snow barefoot when they were little. It didn't seem to bother them in the least. They always came in when they got too cold. And the Hat! I love it. I could never take my piano less when I was little until I had my hat on. It had a long, turquoise feather sticking out of it. To this day, I still love hats. I have at least a dozen and am always looking for more! Barbara Dream Master www.dreamweaverstudio.com If you want to make God laugh, tell him your future plans. Woody Allen |
