Artsense

Painting is bound to shine again soon the light of knowledge.By the end of the nineteenth century the men of knowledge had lost the support of the men of power and had thus to compete with all kinds of charlatans for gaining the ears of their fellow citizens. This relativation of knowledge eliminated the imposition on the painters of messages to illustrate and in the process they gained total freedom to paint what they wanted. After mid-twentieth century they had lost themselves in 'œwhatever' is art. The confusion that ensued gave the marketeers and the bureaucrats free-hands to dictate the valuation of artworks. That's when art effectively died.The ever increasing pace of scientific change and globalization imposed themselves in a vacuum of accepted values which resulted in a deep shock for most individuals whonow feel a strong need for sensical artistic answers. But to satisfy people's yearning for sense those answers have to be founded in scientific and philosophic knowledge.Laodan is the author of 'Artsense ' with ISBN 9781411653658 and ISBN 1411653653.
