Well I am not sure about this one but it is my blog at least for the immediate future. I see art in many things. The art of saying no that a parent uses when talking to a small child. The art of negotiation when buying or selling something that you really want. How many of us have really loved the art that evoked something in us but simply could not afford the artist's price. I am not talking about getting a better price but getting something that you almost cannot do without. That is well priceless in some respects and in others just plays to our materialistic instincts.
At any rate, I have purchased one or two paintings in my life that I simply wanted because they spoke to me. That is where a true appreciation for art lies. I love the work of Henry Pitz. He was a Pennsylvania area artist and author who illustrated childrens books and wrote for one of the art magazines of the fifties. I really enjoyed his art because it had elements of the Brandywine School illustrators and his own cubist tendencies intertwined. Hopefully I can get a few pictures of my favorite, Hilltown, up in the future. For now it must stay in storage. At any rate. enjoy the next few weeks political blogs followed by some real art articles.
best regards
Phil
