Artists and Critics have it backwards.
Actually Art imitates Life. This debate has been ongoing for decades. The examples in the following pages will take a whimsical approach to the inspirations of works of art and try to recreate the feelings that the
artist must have thought as he created his piece.
This debate has a long history. In 1889, Oscar Wilde stated Life imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life.
More recently, Michelle Gaugy, art gallery owner and art critic has argued the same.
I don't believe it does.
Today, lets take a look at the concepts of art in general in a whole new light, and with a playful touch to the creativity of others.
Art can be viewed in many ways. It has the power to inspire people to think, feel and act. It can express social issues, cultural values, and lead to changes in society. It can display human emotions in a creative manner. This relationship between art and life is interdependent and dynamic.
I will not attempt any scholarly treatise on the works of art that art shown, but will define a more offbeat observation.
Art Imitating Life Imitating Art is a dynamic and continual experience that is photographically portrayed in this work.
However, if I start looking at some abstract art today, I get thoughts like, maybe the artist had a piece of bad pizza and a too much wine the night before he started.
