What is Art? Discuss...

With what could we scour distant memories of long-forgotten civilisations were it not for the creation of “Art”? From the masters of the Renaissance to the intrusive work of Lucian Freud, the Art World is simply beguiling. I cherish the opportunity to immerse myself in this evocative environment. This blog will serve to express my own views on this unique world in a manner that will explore, criticise and enlighten all things art-related, both old and new. In the words of Susie Price: 'I like Art.'

I’d really appreciate it if you could spare the time to recommend my blog for the directory - thanks so much!

yellowochreink asked: Just discovered your blog, I like it very much - I am glad that you have something to say about each of your posts, rather than just showing a stream of images with no opinions attached to them. Are you an artist yourself? Of course, by "artist", I don't necessarily mean that you have to get paid for it.
Thanks for posting such wonderful things.

Thank you very much for your lovely words! I’m glad that someone has noticed the effort I go to! When I originally set up the blog, I intended it to act as a platform through which I could practice visual analysis. I currently study History of Art as an undergraduate, so every little helps! And now - I mostly do it for pleasure! I do indeed practice art - I relish the opportunity to spend any free time indulging in doing a little bit of art here and there.

Thanks for the lovely comments again - I’ll strive to keep up the good work!
