Passionate Virtuosity…..

10Mar09

A friend of mine and I were recently discussing the merits of what makes “good art.” Should good art be strictly based on the technical ability of the artist to replicate moments in time to perfection, or is what makes good art the ability of the artist to provoke our mind and soul, regardless of the actual technique they used to create this art. Do we always want to look at art that the Da Vinci’s and Renoir’s of our world create, or would we rather be stimulated by pieces by the Kandinsky’s of this world.

The more I think about it the more I realize this debate can be extended into any form of study or practice. Do we look for cold perfection or passionate chaos…..well my friend ended up besting me by sending me a little article later in the day; the article stated it is in fact “passionate virtuosity” that we should all seek and strive to experience. The combination of both worlds.

Passionate Virtuoisity…..something to think about
