I Love Art

Have You Ever Seen What Was Not There?

This is another example of the work of the artist I was talking about: Yehoshua Front from Bat Yam, Israel.


I am an oilpainter and have taken private courses with several good artists. One of them, a friend of mine from Israel called Joshua Front, is so good that one day when I was looking at a sketch of his, I could actually see what he had intended to portray or in other words, what was in his minds eye. This was amazing! I bought it from him. But it must have been in the heat of the moment, for we had been debating art for a long time that day, because when I looked at it the next day, what I had seen earlier was no longer visible to me. Am I making any sense at all?

    Perhaps the lens of your experience changed. It was just the next day you looked at it, but perhaps the long discussion with your friend altered your vision at that time. Like the glass is half full/empty type thing if that makes sense.

    To me that is the joy of art, experiencing it almost new each time. In some ways it's like we the viewer are co-creaters in the art as our experience impacts what we see.

    Your proximity to the artist allowed you insight that was lost once distance interfered.

    I think, I understand what you mean. What attracted you was lost. Have you seen the pics of my works? All of them plagiarism...

    Yes, I think it has to do with energy, yours and the artists that created the painting. Energy flows and changes. If that makes any sense.

    That was in another life, my friend. Thank you for the comment though.

    Yeah, it counts off from our suseptability to our feelings. He must have had you in a great mood to be able to center and channel his vision. Dhali was similar in that aspect of diving deep to the edges of the consciousness for inspiration. You should look at it again when feeling very dosile and subdued.
