Intro, Art and my relationship with art

 Hi, my name is Jaelon, and for all intents and purposes, I will be your art curator. I have a particular taste in art, as you will come to find out. I do like classic and more recognizable pieces, but I also love abstract and out-of-the-box art. Some of my favorite artists are Hajime Sorayama, Banksy, and more. I hope that you will enjoy my personal curation of different art styles and favorite pieces. Hopefully, if executed correctly, this blog will serve as a window to the soul, particularly my soul. now I've always had an extremely complicated relationship with art. I would love to create it, but I believe I am unable to do so, thus I admire it from a distance. I enjoy going to art museums and am particularly fond of sculptures as well. One of my favorite aspects of art is the mental dissection of the pieces, trying to understand the thoughts that went through the artist's mind and grasping the realization and understanding of their works.




This piece of art is the album cover for Jazz Is for Ordinary People. Each song has its own cover, but they all consist of the same colors and art style. I absolutely love this album.

Thus it was that the modern art movement was born. This movement challenged the long held idea that art must depict the world as it is. Instead, modern artists embraced expression through color, non-traditional materials, and unique mediums and techniques. They didn’t create classical images, they created based on the things that affected them personally, subconsciously, and in everyday life. ( Citation ) ...

The Diversity of Art in the Postmodern Era

  The Postmodern Era (1980–present) is more of a belief than an actual era. It is described as having no particular art style, rejecting artistic hierarchies, and asserting that a person's individual experiences are more significant than many preconceived beliefs about abstract principles related to art. Today's blog topic will focus on the diversity of art during this period.                                              "Bedroom at Arles" by Roy Lichtenstein, 1992                                                         Medium: oil and Magna on canvas Roy Lichtenstein was born on October 27, 1923, and unfortunately passed away on September 29, 1997.
