Art and Beauty go hand in hand...

This post will hopefully become a showcase of art pieces from well-known to newer artists. I intend to help others discover new artists as well as appreciate the ones we are familiar with.

Art is the definition of beauty. It can be everything and nothing at the same time, because it means something different to every single viewer. I can't even begin to express how much art means to the world. I mean, it is so important. It helps us form different point of views and to communicate without speaking. It is a document of what that specific artist was thinking/ feeling/ observing/ remembering at that moment in his/her life.

Just like yesterday's proposal, I am open for any suggestions you might have. Send me an email with a genre, artist, or art piece that you'd like to share with the community. Or even if you have an art piece you'd like to share. Send it all to me and I will post the piece and credit it to you. (I will make sure to credit all the art shown on here it its rightful creator.)

*If you would like to send in a piece, be sure to include your name or the name you'd like to credit, a brief description about it or an interesting fact. You can find my email to your RIGHT under the heading "Let's Do It".

Here is an example so you get a visual of what I'm talking about...

The Lovers • Rene Magritte

In 1912 Magritte's mother committed suicide in the Sambre River.When they found her body, her nightgown was wrapped around her head, covering her face. Many art enthusiast believe these paintings (as he has other similar ones.) were a reference to her death -even though Magritte never admitted it himself.

Gargoyles • Michael Parkes

Parkes is an artist who favors color stone lithography... Yeah, this is a carving. And in case you can't tell what it is the gargoyle is reaching for, it's a stray bubble that the little girl blew. I really like this one. I suggest checking out some of his other works.

Easy enough, right?

Alrighty then, thanks so much for your time and remember: you're awesome.... true story.
