Expressionism

I think I am such a good critic because I am not as good at art as I would like to be. Think about it, when you suck at something, it is very easy for you to talk about how bad/good it is. That is why Art is SUBJECTIVE.

My relationship with myself improved when I started going to museums. Knowing that I lived in a world where people constantly strive to produce art even when they were at their lowest was somewhat consoling to me. Their art spoke the words they couldn’t.

But what intrigued me was, had they been alive now, would they have spoken for themselves?

Would I want to create something so beautiful to speak for me that is understood a century later? Do I want to spend my time creating something majestic because I do not have the words to describe what is running through my head? But I live in a society that is nihilistic towards expression but also enjoys expression a century later (the irony LOL).

The more I asked these questions to myself, I understood that I do not want to create something while I am at my lowest. I want to be able to sit and think and talk about it and find a solution. I do not want to live in art a thousand years later. I want to create art when I am at my happiest. Because that is the only thing I want to share.
