not enough birds @perse-phone-blog - Tumblr Blog

Not to be a nag or anything, but, do you think you'll have time to go check on the Ask Infinite Eyerolls blog? I understand if you don't, I'm swamped myself.

(im using the web browser on my phone rn idk how old this is sorry) sorry, but I think inf eyerolls is dead alongside me. unless vicky or mella decide to pick it back up. 👍🏻

hello kiddos,, this is probably gonna be my last post here!! I don't use tumblr anymore, I'll keep my blog up tho in case I need to contact someone or if I decide to make a new blog for art stuff later on. but for now, I won't be on here probably ever again. I used to love tumblr and chatting with people here and making fan art, but since last spring my life's become incredibly busy and I've realized that living within this tiny little computer world isn't very healthy for me as a person. since then, I've totally changed in a lot of ways. I'm making a lot of original artwork and I've had a lot of irl oppourtunities regarding that. tumblr used to drain me of energy, and I'd get sucked into my phone all day, making me a totally useless lazy person. it also made me incredibly more depressed. now, I've accomplished a whole bunch of things I've always wanted to do (get into some snazzy art schools, ect.) and I want to continue accomplishing things outside of posting some decent fan art every now and then. and, I've become a less sad person! woo! I'm a lot healthier mentally, and have been able to speak out to people irl about my issues and actually get them fixed rather than blabbing on the internet about them. I've been in a long distance relationship for a year and a handful of months now, and that's also attributed to my decline on this site. anyways, I wish you all the best. if you have any need to contact me, you can find me on skype @ prismahays, or on snapchat as @ p.rsima. bye for now! ✌🏻️💕

So somebody on my Facebook posted this. And I’ve seen sooooo many memes like it. Images of a canvas with nothing but a slash cut into it, or a giant blurry square of color, or a black circle on a white canvas. There are always hundreds of comments about how anyone could do that and it isn’t really art, or stories of the time someone dropped a glove on the floor of a museum and people started discussing the meaning of the piece, assuming it was an abstract found-objects type of sculpture.

The painting on the left is a bay or lake or harbor with mountains in the background and some people going about their day in the foreground. It’s very pretty and it is skillfully painted. It’s a nice piece of art. It’s also just a landscape. I don’t recognize a signature style, the subject matter is far too common to narrow it down. I have no idea who painted that image.

The painting on the right I recognized immediately. When I was studying abstraction and non-representational art, I didn’t study this painter in depth, but I remember the day we learned about him and specifically about this series of paintings. His name was Ad Reinhart, and this is one painting from a series he called the ultimate paintings. (Not ultimate as in the best, but ultimate as in last.)

The day that my art history teacher showed us Ad Reinhart’s paintings, one guy in the class scoffed and made a comment that it was a scam, that Reinhart had slapped some black paint on the canvas and pretentious people who wanted to look smart gave him money for it. My teacher shut him down immediately. She told him that this is not a canvas that someone just painted black. It isn’t easy to tell from this photo, but there are groups of color, usually squares of very very very dark blue or red or green or brown. They are so dark that, if you saw them on their own, you would call each of them black. But when they are side by side their differences are apparent. Initially you stare at the piece thinking that THAT corner of the canvas is TRUE black. Then you begin to wonder if it is a deep green that only appears black because the area next to it is a deep, deep red. Or perhaps the “blue” is the true black and that red is actually brown. Or perhaps the blue is violet and the color next to it is the true black. The piece challenges the viewer’s perception. By the time you move on to the next painting, you’re left to wonder if maybe there have been other instances in which you believe something to be true but your perception is warped by some outside factor. And then you wonder if ANY of the colors were truly black. How can anything be cut and dry, black and white, when even black itself isn’t as absolute as you thought it was?

People need to understand that not all art is about portraying a realistic image, and that technical skills (like the ability to paint a scene that looks as though it may have been photographed) are not the only kind of artistic skills. Some art is meant to be pretty or look like something. Other art is meant to carry a message or an idea, to provoke thought.

Reinhart’s art is utterly genius.

“But anyone could have done that! It doesn’t take any special skill! I could have done that!”

Ok. Maybe you could have. But you didn’t.

Give abstract art some respect. It’s more important than you realize.

Concept and the audiences interpretation is just as important as technical ability in a lot of peices.

I remember this one time I went to the museum of modern art in Sydney with my mother and in the foyer was this enormous wall sized canvas made up of hundreds of squares of seemingly random colours. My mum always does the “you could do so much better I can’t beleive that got into a gallery” schtic and we walked past and looked at rhe rest of the gallery but that painting was on my mind.

It bothered me that I couldn’t see a pattern in the colours but each of them HAD to have a reason. It wouldn’t be in this gallery for nothing.

On the way out we read the artists commentary plaque and it said that the painting was a mental health journal. every day three times a day the artist painted a square in a colour corresponding to how he felt. Read top to bottom left to right it cataloged his emotions for 6 months.

We stood back and saw the bright yellows and the soft pinks and saw how sometimes the calm blues faded into angry oranges and bright hot reds. And we saw how the further we looked along the less bright sunny colours were seen. How even the angry flaming colours turned to dark painful reds. The blues became more prominent and in the centre there was a vertical line. 9 panels entirely black

And we knew that for three days straight he had felt so entirely helpless that he couldn’t see any colour at all.

It was so painful to read this wall of colour knowing what it meant. Seeing someone’s descent into a depressive period like that. You walked across the room hoping to see the bright sunny yellows and leaf greens again. And after seeing those black panels you began to feel releif that something might have been even a lighter shade of grey. Because it wasn’t hopeless blackness.

Yeah. Anyone could have painted that. But they didn’t. And it didn’t make any sense until we bothered to find out why. And then it was raw and honest and had us in tears hoping that this artist wouldn’t ever have to paint a black square again.

I took a photo of the painting and the artists description so I would remember who he was. But a few years later I lost all my files in a hard drive crash and I haven’t ever been able to find that painting again. Even 10 years later I still remember it and I still want to know if he’s okay
