Today is Frank Lloyd Wright’s birthday! The renown American architect would have been 145 years old today. Wright is well-known for designing structures that were in harmony with humanity and its environment, exemplified in buildings such as Fallingwater and Taliesin West.

Compare and Contrast the function of Art

The function of art is what it does, or what it’s job is. Not always the same thing though.

The job of art is what was intended, but what it actually does is probably more personal.

Still, we can use what has been written to help us get beyond the more personal view and go for something more informed and objective.

Here we see Josephy Beuys’ Fat Chair and Robert Smithson’s Spiral Jetty.

The function of Fat Chair seems to be to ask us to question the use of a chair/fat and therefore questioning ‘knowledge’ as a fixed thing. I also know that Beuys uses fat/lard as a symbol for protection and possibly comfort.

Smithson was interested in entropy, things collapsing, everything coming to an end. This is echoed in the shape of the spiral. Clearly, being land art, or environmental art issues of the natural environment are raised too.

but I also want to birds in accordance with the impression that I experienced after the storm

Appropriation

so, the people who tell you that a re-discovered da Vinci is worth 162m Euros, what is they are doing, actually? They are art thieves, in my humble opinion. Ironic too that the painting is of the christian saviour Jesus Christ. They are telling you, openly that they dictate the price, the worth, the value. From that point on, they will control the sale, then it depends on the ‘owner’ whether you get to see it or not. Please do remember this is a painting. The minute you start throwing prices like this around, you devalue the work considerably.
