"Towards a Standard of Beauty"
why do people or critics strive so hard in explaining the unknown? After reading this article i felt a little crossed and disappointed, while art has been and will always be in an constant flux of change, why try so hard in finding the answers. may be their are no answers within the world of art, may be the answer is far more simple than we make it out to be. personally i feel art is an outlet or a means of expressing individual experiences through out that individual life. within the article this term "craft" kept bouncing back and forth within my head, i mean really, does craft have to be made solely by the hand, an artist can still put meaning and soul within art countless different ways, so why do we make things out to be so black and white. its either craft, its either fine art, its either modern art....... rather than looking at the beauty or even enjoyment behind a piece of art we are too busy trying to classify it, or understand it.
Personally i envy korean and Japanese ceramics, but to say things have died off is a bit too much, yes we are in a world of new technological developments but in no means does that mean craft has died. It has changed!!! like in the passed things developed and change over time, experience, practice, and development. we need to stop looking at modern art with the same eyes we have perceived all forms of historic art, like different cultures we may need to learn a different language in order to understand the world around us.
