"Art for Art's Sake", art is self-sufficient and need serve no moral or political purpose.
The idea of this blog is to share my passion for art, from classic art as paintings to a new era of art where technology, art and society go together to create something new sometimes, not understandable and for this reason, artistic.
"The wave" by Paul Gauguin (1888)is one of my favourite paintings from Gauguin. I love the unnatural colours that the artist uses in all his paintings and here, for instance, the beach is red with a bit of orange. Eventhough it is not natural, it gives the idea of warm, the idea of a something unique, somewhere in the world. The wave, also represents the impact that the japanese style had on Gauguin's art: the black circular lines showed the moto of the waves, give direction and power to the wave itself. Gauguin's style to delimited every subjects of his paintings with a black line, make up a controversy in identify him as an impressionist. In fact, the Impressionism, avoided the use of any borders, the boundaries between objects, were possible with a combination of colours and quick brushwork. The wave makes me feel relax when I look at the upper side of it, at the sea and its colours, pink, blue/green, yellow/white. The water seems calm, flat a rainbow in the sea. Then, all of a sudden, the wave: the water is gathering all the power, energy and throw it on the beach, without a specific reason, just to let it go.
Like life. We put so much effort in what we like/care not for a specific reason, but because we enjoy it, enjoy the feeling of doing something the best we can.
