Status Updates From El Arte Como Terapia

شروعش اینترنی اطفال ۱۴۰۰ بود؛
همون‌جایی که فصل عشق شد، عشق تموم شده بود، کتابو هم دیگه نخوندم.

اگر دنیا جای مهربان‌تری بود شاید کمتر تحت‌تاثیر آثار زیبایِ هنری قرار می‌گرفتیم، و کمتر هم به آن‌ها نیازمند بودیم.
هر چقدر زندگی دشوارتری داشته باشیم، احتمال اینکه تصویر زیبای یک گل مارا تحت‌تاثیر قرار دهد بیشتر است. اشکها، اگر بی‌آیند، پاسخی‌اند به زیباییِ تصویر، نه به غم‌انگیز بودن آن.

hay q digerirlo poquito a poco

el libro de autoayuda que necesitaba, lo he encontrado escondidito y se ha comprado solo ;(

'We have already found, and benefited from, all there is to be gained in the direction of complete freedom. Now comes the greater challenge of selective, organizational censorship.' p.222

'The psychological frailty that we very much need art's help with is that we are more or less compelled by nature to be proud of something collective, but we don't know what to be proud of.' p.197

'One of the central dilemmas of being human is how we can properly deal with an intrinsic tension between reason and the body, between instinctual and intellectual life.' p.134

'The mission of the true art lover should be to reduce the relative importance of museums, in the sense that the wisdom and insight currently collected there shouldn't be so jealously guarded and fetishized, but instead scattered generously and promiscuously across life.' p.88

'One of the sorrowful areas is relationships, yet surprisingly few artworks in current circulation focus on this major theme.' p.71

p.56-57

‘Art can do the opposite of glamourizing the unattainable; it can reawaken us to the genuine merit of life as we're forced to lead it.’ p.56

'One of the unexpectedly important things that art can do for us is teach us how to suffer more successfully.' p.24

'If the world was a kinder place, perhaps we would be less impressed by, and in need of, pretty works of art.' p.17

به انچه درونمان میگذرد اگاه نیستیم.بینش،سوء ظن،تفکرات مبهم و احساسات متناقضی داریم که هیچ یک به تعریفی ساده تن در نمیدهند.خلق و خو هایی داریم،اما واقعا چیزی درباره شان نمیدانیم.سپس هرازگاهی با اثاری هنری مواکه میشویم که به نظر میرسد قلاب شان به چیزی گیر کرده است که ان را احساس کردیم،اما تا بحال هیچگاه به این وضوح متوجهش نشده ایم.

افتادم روی ریل الن دوباتن!
خیلی طول بکشه احتمالا خوندنش چون دارم اروم پیش میرم، به اون اثری که داره ازش حرف میزنه اکتفا نمیکنم و همه اثار نویسنده نامبرده رو میبینم.

Mük-kem-mel !

Vinci .. sfumato . . showing shapes without using outlines . . . Braque . . . idea of depicting the same object from more than one point of view . . .

I am human. Nothing human is foreign to me.

Growth occurs when we discover how to remain authentically ourselves in the presence of potentially threatening things. Maturity is the possession of coping skills: we can take in our stride things that previously would have knocked us off course. We are less fragile, less easily shocked and hence more capable of engaging with situation as they really are.

We hunger for artworks that will compensate for our inner fragilities and help return us to viable means. We call a work beautiful when it supplies the virtue we are missing, and we dismiss as ugly one that forces on us moods or motifs that we feel either threatened or already overwhelmed by. Art holds out the promise of inner wholeness.

We may have a tendency to be too complacent, or too insecure; too trusting, or too suspicious; too serious, or too light-hearted. Art can put us in touch with concentrated doses of our missing dispositions, and thereby restore a measure of equilibrium to our listing inner selves.

One of the unexpectedly important things that art can do for us is teach us how to suffer more successfully …. We need help in finding honor in some of our worst experiences, and art is there to lend them a social expression.

The more difficult our lives, the more a graceful depiction of a flower might move us. The tears -if they come - are in response not to how sad the image is, but how pretty.

I love this book! It gets me inspired to paint again! It gives me a reason to make art! I plan to purchase this for my library when I have the money.

تا اینجای کار با چند مورد از صحبت های نویسنده موافق نیستم ولی به طور خاص ایده ای که در مورد زیرنویس و شرح آثار تو موزه ها مطرح می‌کنه می‌تونه اثر کاملا سوء و برعکسی داشته باشه. دیکته ی پیام حسی ای که یه اثر داره می‌تونه مانع تجربه مستقیم و شخصی من بشه و منو از ارتباط گرفتن با اثر دور کنه.

Das hier habe ich mir in einem Buchladen in Palma gekauft.
