Comment on The Dead Places: The Visual Delicacy of Decay by techgnotic
1) I wouldn't say "oneness" or "wholeness" I think it just puts things in a realistic perspective. We are not intended to be here or "be" forever. Everything ends where it begins. As Beckett says, "We were sullen, with no pleasure in the sweet, sun-gladdened air, carrying in our souls the fumes of sloth."
2) I don't feel like the Artist(s) is trying to do anything for the viewer...I think they are expressing how they feel and what they are envisioning. The great thing about Art is it can be anything and can make you feel anyway. I think peace is what you make it and it's something different to everyone, so even if the Artist intentions are to bring peace
3) I think your mood dictates what kind of Art and even people you choose to surround yourself with. It can be from bright and cheery to dark and disparing.
I really enjoyed this article it was very thought provoking and seminal.
