Description:
From the crisis of easel painting in 1948 (according to Clement Greenberg), painting went through several other crises. In one of those crises, for example, New Media confronted painting with its role, but it did not cause its decline. The difficulties this art form faces can be chalked up to the condition of the economy. In times of prosperity, painting takes its place inside the art scene, while, in periods of depression, painting has to stay on the outside. Every recession is different; much depends on predictions of its longevity. The present crisis seems longer than its predecessors. Painting has one option left: to serve the lonely, to help those left without proper, acceptable living conditions, without a flat or a job.
This essentially means that crisis acts as a catalyst in the present, and a painter's duty is to help the poor, the defenceless; a painter is a present-day knight fighting with images, without using directly advanced, computer-based technology.
In this course, all participants can try to get under the skin of the contemporary, romantic artist, create works that give hope and style to the fallen and to the escapists.
Number of participants: minimum 5 persons, maximum 16 persons
Equipments, tools:
