| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 07/20/14 at 04:04 PM I wouldn't be so concerned with not knowing whether this poem hasn't a close, but with the fact that you have one heck of a fine creation on you hands. I think no matter how we, the ones who sit for artists are concerned, artists must be at liberty to paint us in the manner they see fit, in their own fashion and not as we wish to be painted. And this isn't something you don't already know, but if you stand close enough to a painting, it becomes less objective, i.e. if paintings can truly be objective, and take on the mantle of abstract. I think all art and all expression is abstractual and if if looks like us, it is merely coincidental. |
