We need art in 2010
Posted on | January 2, 2010 | No Comments
Many are welcoming 2010 with much anticipation and anxiety, not knowing what to expect regarding economic recovery. But art is a reflection of our lives. It mirrors our problems, our joys, the beauty and miseries experienced in everyday and ordinary events.
Regardless of what happens in 2010 – economic recovery, recession or stagnation – we need art.
We need artists to continue simplifying, analyzing and abstracting this sometimes chaotic world we live in. We need them to continue to give us new perspectives on homelessness, war, patriotism, fields of cotton, oceans, old barns, children playing, flowers, butterflies and turtles. There are times when we need to be stopped in our tracks to see a butterfly.
We need art because we are art.
