Aspects of Art

I am the real thing..
copy I am not;
I paint ..in the here and now..
what I see..unique
as it appears to me-
whatever is meant..
form is the content
impressions..from within-
so to begin..
this secret,for free..
know how to see

inspired by the thoughts of these artists
lichtenstein,pollock,kirchner,kelly,walder,wols

I never could understand abstract art but this poem helps me much Brian.." whatever is meant.. form is the content impressions from within ....to know how they see is what explains it better...like poetry. Thanks for this informative poem

In a world of copy-cat, and high tech computerized techniques....true art holds even more value, is truly the richest art form. Just as a written letter or document has more meaning and lasting value, than a phone call, text message, e-mail....If only we can hold on to these "real things" in the new world of the future. Love this simple poem which speaks volumns.

and to see life differently from the soul's eyes... what I like is how you find that intersection where spontaneity and the emotions meet... thanks for sharing this, brian... artful! :) huggs, nette
