perspective of an amateur

Most people among us usually dont care about what somebody has done or put in a lot of effort to portray....
Just like a writer puts in a lot of inner meaning to his works an artist too puts a lot of unsung details on his work. Modern art is quite often mistook for rubbish but the fact remains that the value of the work comes only if u r willing to give the meaning to it. Normal realistic pics have a sole motive of chasing the reality of the subject or the object that is being portrayed n it means the same to everyone, whereas wen it comes to modern art we have a whole new dimension... Modern art is all about the person who views it or tries to decipher it. usually the beauty of modern art is in the way we feel about each line each curve each block each patch of colour.

Most of the time modern art is confined to simple forms weived together to form a complex that is pesonifying some meaning n colors conflicting or jelling together in a way the artist thinks at the moment. Or at times accidental mistakes that may or may not mean anything. It is basically the random thoughts of the artist taking a form in another dimension far from realism. Sometimes they may be the personification of something real or imaginary n common, yet unappreciated or mistaken.

The whole joy of watchin a work that moves away from realism and that is not confined by the clutches of shape n laws of nature is that it gives a whole myriad of ways of thought. The same work can mean a lot of thing to the same person if he is willing to think out of the box. it makes us wonder if question the obvious n find pleasure or at times pain in realising something truly wonderful. If i go for an examplification say there is a pic with a lot of interconnected lines thru which a lot of curves converge n diverge in a random fashion n there is a lot of conflicting colours which have been tried to mix. now i m standing in front of this wonderful piece of art n i start wondering..
For me it can actually remind me of all the difficult times and constricting event cycles and the way i could get into more trouble, and the way i could escape of these event cycles following something or someone. it can hint me to think of the two sides of the same coin concept. it may remind me of the randomness in the arrival of joys n pain. The conflicting colours can stimulate me to think of the diversity and how certain of these diversities go hand in hand n form a better state of affairs, n how some of them still stay different n never mix for the better. These being just a few of the thoughts. i may come up with a different meaning to the expressions in the work wen i look at it at a different time...

Ultimately the 'big picture' is and never will be the 'big picture'. We r given a choice to think of it as something that we never understand and fear, following the fear of the things that are not understood, or to think of it as something we truly understand and give a meaning to it that can be as lovely as a song of love by the great masters or be as dark and mysterious as black sabbath. And what more do u want.


Now going a little light on the topic the whole idea of this article is to put in a little sense to people who think modern art to be rubbish n worthless...
