The Government Should Support Musicians

Musicians are really struggling of late. It seems that they just can’t get a break and that the rug is being pulled from underneath their legs. They are being tipped in the great abyss by music piracy and kids who just are not buying records anymore. In this climate it is hard to know exactly how musicians and artists will be able to get a start in the music business. The prospects for already established acts are great. Instead of More

Art Throughout the Ages

The world of creativity is as vast as it is deep. There are photographers, graphic artists, conceptual artists, sculpters, surrealists, realists, writers and dreamers. Man has been creating art since the dawn of human time. Caves throughout the world possess etchings and paintings, showing us that creativity is an intrinsical part of our make up. Whether creativity is innate or conditioned is an argument best left to philosophers, however, we do know that there are people who feel very passionate More

The Business of Photography

Photographers are often people that are widely recognised as the artists of reality, the people that display the world the way it is. Hardly is there anyone who would disagree and this makes photography, especially nowadays with the improved digital technologies, a branch in the arts tree that enjoys the love of the public and the interest of almost every social group. However, being a young photographer looking for recognition might be a bit tough and discouraging.
This is the More

A Distinctive Canadian Art Culture??

The contemporary art in Canada is still undergoing a certain process of self-determination. Since Canada is composed of many ethnic groups, many regions with diverse artistic orientation and specific areas are recognising the influence of different externam factors in arts, the Canadian scholars are still leading a debate on the question is there a distinctive Canadian art movement and particularization.

Hofstetter, president of the Canadian Banff Arts Centre.

It is often movers and shakers and at least those with insider know how and drive More

Making it as an artist

Apparantly there are lots of grants an artist can apply for. The only problem is finding them. For all you would-be artists who would like to know if they can make a living at art without having to sell your gold, there may the niggling question of why would an artist need grants if its a lucrative field? Good question.

The answer is like a lot of things not so straight forward.

Some artists survive by getting to grips More

Paul Nash

Finally, I got to see the Paul Nash exhibition at Dulwich Picture Gallery, among its final days. Previously, I was aware of Nash, but didn’t know enough about him to call myself a fan.

The publicity used a reproduction of Totes Meer, perhaps one of Nash’s most famous works, but not necessarily one of his best. The painting is not without merits however. It is a very powerful piece, full of atmosphere and sadness. I think it was a very More
