Modern and contemporary reading...

While attending a workshop in California I was most inspired by the artist Alexey Steele of LA. Since that time he has developed a website ( www.novorealism.com)  with some interesting modern day viewpoints. Here are some highlights but recommend  you check out...


Another inherently Romantic view is a sense of Purposeful Seriousness in the Act of Being. Y es, there are things in life worth living for outside of consumption, greed and glee promoted mercilessly by the official main stream.

Liberating true emotions from the suppression of both - the entrenched precepts of the official post-modernist establishment which delegitimizes any human feeling in Art just as much as from the clutches of commercialist packaging pushing mass consumed goods for the purpose of corporate bottom line - Romanticism of our day seeks re-affirming the humanistic sanctity of Personal Truth, Meaning, Beauty and Purpose.

Truthfulness in complexity of Image and Character as opposite to stereotypical convention, found in the works of serious leading artists of our days is exploring the depths of what is Real and True, piercing in a constant search into the very mysteries of the Visible.
