If you have read my story Inspiration, you already know something of my philosophy of art. To put it bluntly, I believe the best art should fuck you like a lover, sometimes tenderly, seducing your senses, and other times assaulting you with new feelings, overwhelming you with color and vision and feeling. One of the scenes in Inspiration was a reflection on this painting: |
I love the sensuality of the piece and the story that it implies. Art has its seasons and romantic art especially so. The Pre-Raphaelites created romantic visions in the mid-19th Century that still enliven our senses and imaginations today. There are many modern illustrators and artists who work in this tradition of vivid, evocative imagery. I will list links to some of their Web Pages and galleries here soon. If you have favorites, I hope you will share them with me too. |
