I simply cannot believe that our acclaimed artists would depict the devastation of the war in the form of beauty. This is utter nonsense! Why would anyone even dare to depict the suffering of the people in works of splendor and magnificence? The Second Great War already has had an enormous effect on many countries, France especially. I cannot see how one is able to create something graceful that derives from this suffering of the people. I believe the paintings that we create should portray the anguish of the souls of the deceased without a trace of appreciation or brilliance in it.
This is an outrage! This style is completely unsuited for this age. I have now been convinced, I must pick up my brush once more. I must save the art world in any way possible. The derivation of beauty from suffering is simply unacceptable! This is where the style I have studied intensely will shine. I have decided to deviate from everyone else’s standard of following culture and letting it influence their art. The focus of art should shift to the chaotic, primitive drawings that I have learned to appreciate. The works of crazed inmates located in asylums perfectly depict the distortion and suffering caused by war and violence. I believe that to paint in this unique style, artists must isolate themselves from popular culture and explore their own inspirations, whether they are good or bad.
I agree with you. War is not beautiful thing and it should not be displayed as one. I have lived through fascist Italy and the war that Mussolini brought was hell. If it had not been for Mussolini my movie career would have started far earlier. keep up what your doing, I like it.
ReplyDeleteI, too, agree that war is horrible. The simple aspect of beautifying it is just terrible. I experienced the war as a prisoner of the Germans during World War II. Life in the prisons was horrid, but I managed to survive by writing books. I wish you luck in stopping this horrid movement.
