RE: The Philosophy and Motives on Painting: Is it to express meaning? To tell a story...or is it just a pretty picture?

in #painting6 years ago

Expressionism is something that quite didn't exist until the last century, when meaning started to be given to art, as in a breaking of the conventionalism of just painting a picture that was faithful to reality with commissions and such. Maybe art wasn't specifically born as something meaningful, but it found its way there when we learned that every artist has their own signature.
