Art, Craft, Decoration, Design

I hope you can get this information put forth by Mr. Young. He goes into these
words in more detail and better explanation than I ever could.
On art: This is such a wide field a person could probably spend the rest of their lives
studying all artists from early Egyptian, Babylonian, Greek, Roman, renaissance and
on and on. For a time I made a good little bit of pocket change by copying the
old masters work. Never could I understand how or why a person would want a copy
by another artist of an artist’s work. In order to be safe from any prosecution for
this activity I was always sure to put in some place not obvious that it was a copy
painted by myself, the year, and so forth. Some artists have done jail time for not
making know that it is a copy. Albeit the jail had its own patio with plants and
television, it was still incarceration. It must be said that while I worked on the
old master’s art there was an eerie feeling that the artist himself was standing
behind me lest I make some error in recording his work. To come to know
the artist was a wonderful experience. Corot, Utrillo, the great Rembrandt, all
had clever little tricks they used to create their masterpieces. The copy could
not be completed without reading extensively about the artist and understanding
what he was trying to convey and, in fact, how he did that.
Design: Graphic design, Design for bridges, buildings, highways and all kinds of
work to create our modern society
Crafts: There are good crafts and what I call junk crafts. Good craftsmanship going
to the creating of fine furniture, the clay models of cars, design first
then to the crafting of clothing and on and on
Decoration: This is such a wide field anyone would be hard pressed to present all
the places decoration is used. Even cars are finished with a modicum of decoration.
Certainly our houses are decorated with each one going to Victorian, ranch, brick, rock,
stone, and too many to be listed not to mention the interior design of modern, Spanish,
Danish, country, so on and so forth.
Bottom line? As I mentioned when I started this series on art. This is an endless field
as close to coming to the intricate workings of the human mind as anyone can ever
study and learn. In my lifetime, while I was washing dishes, diapers, doing
floors, but especially as I waited in the doctor’s reception room with this or the other
child or parent for whom I cared had an appointment. Grief, waiting for the evitable
end of a loved one’s life span, worries about economic lows, frustration over unchanging
situations all pale and are faced down by the goodness of art, design, decoration and
craft. I highly recommend the endeavor something like the man in the nursery rhyme
who drank from a cup he thought was just a cup, but was actually a body of waters so great.
