========[ Invite a Friend - http://www.ganoksin.com/invite.htm ]========
When I was in graduate school a thousand years ago, I had a friend
who's Master's thesis show was entitled "Art and Artifice". this
thread and so many others seem to deal with this issue time and
again. It is an interesting one. I don't have the answer because I
think there isn't one. Aesthetics are the realm of intellect, it has
nothing to do with technique.
I personally hate most of Picasso's work and feel that he became a
hack. However, he opened the door to an aesthetic in art which has
changed the way people think. I made abstract expressionist jewelry
for years. crumbly bezels, snippets of old French horns lead
soldered onto weird shaped pieces of copper, etc. I think what
happens [at least for me] is that as you grow in your creativity, you
may develop a love for the technical aspects of jewelry design. I
fell in love with "the perfect stone" and all of the other things
that jewelry is often about. I think that as we see more, we want to
expand our ideas and techniques as we grow. Now I do Cad generated
highly accurate work in high karat gold. Was some of my earlier work
good? Yes, is all of my present work good?, not yet. But, I keep
trying to improve my techniques because now my work is about
technique and perfection of form. Earlier it was about emotion and
exuberant creativity. There is room on the planet for both of these
expressions. Price has nothing to do with it. If a customer will pay
$1,111,111.00 for a crappy Picasso or a "crappy' piece of jewelry its
their money and their aesthetic choice. Dennis
