Art: a form or representation of an expression meant to evoke emotions, or to initiate conversations in order to gain perspectives from the creator. Indeed, art consists of many forms or it can be anything (music, portraits, paintings, production, literature, etc.), and in all its beauty, it may be animate or inanimate. I mean, let’s think about examples of artists such as Salvador Dali, Vincent van Gogh, Lady Gaga, Adam Lambert, Andy Warhol, Annie Leibovitz. They are a few of the countless artists and creators alike that we recognize in our present day. Is it funny how art is live or not and gives us the opportunity to interject our opinions? I believe that it can be a cool thing, in a way this collective beauty gathers people to converse in a beautiful way — a way that brings sentiment. Oddly enough, art composes some sort of methodology composed of odd parts, trinkets, sounds and parts that depict itself as an illustration to the world, which many people either favor or detest it. OK, so maybe that previous statement sounded a bit far-reaching or confusing, but strangely enough, art speaks or provokes us in unexpected ways.
For instance, let us think about “The Starry Night” by Vincent van Gogh. By all accounts, van Gogh has stapled his mark in history with this illustrative piece and among many of his, but possibly, it makes you pause for a moment and contemplate its meaning. There is much to admire about the cohesive culmination in its form; more so, it really evokes such a beauty that gravitates too many people, or at least to some. The blots of orange and yellow as the stars along with the dark shady blue of the twilight sky set the tone. Funny enough, this prestigious piece set a precedent of an art that captures the hearts of so many people worldwide. Nonetheless, it etches such a staple in our history.
Another example of an artist who contributes interesting formations and collections may seem like indirect art, at least by an animated form. Whenever Lady Gaga’s name circulates around the media, there are some strong and ardent opinions that associate with her name and brand. Certainly, she has been a pioneer in performing music that makes her feel comfortable to share and entertain millions yearning for her presence. Just a glance at her music video “Bad Romance” speaks for itself; it encapsulates many feelings, some of the anger, romance, provocation and happiness. The choreography, unique costumes, makeup and raunchy body language argues issues of oddities to a select few, but ultimately Lady Gaga set the bar to show that this art relates to some people and they screamed for more of her presence — all because she was fearless enough to push a vivid art that entranced millions of people.
Lastly, to emphasize another example of an artist (One of the many great ones out there) would be Andy Warhol. His collections of art range from many notable people such as Marilyn Monroe, Prince, Jackie Kennedy, Michael Jackson and that infamous Campbell’s soup can — cannot forget that one. Just the swath of colors really caught people’s attention, and from an observant eye, these color masterpieces appear effortless from his touch, but presumably, his technique seemed time-consuming and countless time. Yet he exemplifies another creator who challenged people to think outside the box and see the art world with vibrant lenses. Warhol has entrenched himself as an iconic mastermind by the repertoire of his creative art, whether from paintings or directing films.
In the end, these few artists represent many great and creative provokers who constantly give people reasons to discuss art, and how art continues to inspire or motivate us to talk more. Our loquacious tongues move as the art develops as the world evolves in front of us. Thus, performers, artists and those alike provide something that we never thought would be possible: art presents us with reasons to connect on mutual levels.
