Art is'nt lost, it perhaps has found new meaning, a new way has been paved, no longer does the glory have to go to a dead guy, he can now be recognised for the work he does in his lifetime. Alot more people now have begun to find the intellectual hint in the world of Art.
Contrary to the classical opinion of art following a method, and hence the interpretation being constant by all has now begun to fade out. Now art is an extraneous body of knowledge i.e our materials put into art and the knowledge of how to use it best, and this is evolved in different various that then takes the face of numerous ways of expression. The expression of the artist. And this in turn may be related to the viewer in varied ways.
INTERPRET THIS!!!!A friend once told me that he too wanted to learn how to appreciate art. The irony being that it is not something that is learnt, good art can evoke many interpretations, limitless, and none can be incorrect. Modern art more and more is taking the form of abstractions that are not subject to only what the artist tries to put into it. It can catch the viewers fancy in any way and is open.
Today, in changing times, according to an Indian born artist, Anish Kapoor, "Artists excavate meaning, he does not deliver them"
And it is the above sentence that rings through art space and allows it to rosonate through time.
