However, I think that I'm a little above average when it comes to finding and appreciating good art. For example, I just watched this movie about Seraphine, an artist that went crazy.
The whole time I kept listening to my mom and her talking about how the lady is crazy and insane. How she was so weird and what not.
I just couldn't help but be annoyed by her comments. So she did things differently from society. So she didn't do what everybody else did. She followed her own clock. Did things her own way. It was clear from the movie that she loved nature and had a special connnection with it. It's annoying how my mom was always laughing at her when she was in nature and hugging trees and all. We used to have that connection with nature but we replaced it with computers and technology. Thing is, technology and computers are EMPTY. We're the weird ones spending hours a day in front of an empty, lifeless machine. She had a real connection with nature and this is probably what helped her create such unique and captivating artwork.
I felt that I could completely relate with Seraphine. Her entire life is a work of art and is absolutely captivating. I only wish that people wouldn't have treated her the way they did. People are cruel and selfish. It is a fact of nature.
Anyhow, I was checking out my favorite art blog and they continue to update it! Awesome stuff.
