#art, Arte inquietante – Art That’s Disturbing

(«Saturno devorando a sus hijos» de Goya)

No debemos pensar que el arte tiene que ser siempre algo bonito, elegante, decorativo y digno de nuestro salon porque el arte es un dialogo, e igual que los diálogos en la vida real, algunos son agradables otros inquietantes…

We should not think that art always has to be something beautiful, elegant, decorative, and worthy of our salon, because art is dialogue, and just like real-life conversations, some are pleasant while others are unsettling or disturbing…

    Definitely disturbing, but thank you for reminding us that it is still art.

    1. Oh yes, it is still art, and quite good I would say. And although I would not hang it on my wall I can admire them online or preferably at a museum. Well Janet, it is a wonderful day here, very spring-like with bright sunlight. The only downer here today is hearing how the Orange Man wants to impose tariffs upon us once again and how negatively that has affected the market. Incredible! But… I hope to enjoy a lovely weekend and do some painting and writing. I hope you have lovely weather too and that you are able to enjoy a great weekend as well. Take good care and all the best.

        We can hope the Orange Man will change his mind about the tariffs before they begin on June 1. His commencement «speech» today at West Point was his usual rambling and weaving. To top it off, he wore his red MAGA baseball cap! He is so tacky, but tacky is the least of our concerns in a dictator.

      2. We will never lose hope or the knowledge that God is in charge. And yes, that baseball cap is very tacky, but that is the least in importance. Have a lovely Sunday Janet. Many blessings.

    You couldn’t possibly post an article like this without including Goya Francesc, but I don’t think I would want any of these on my wall.

    1. They may provoke nightmares I would suspect. Yes, no, I would not want them on my wall either… But I do admire them in museums… Goya’s is to me the most disturbing of all…

        I suspect that like me, you saw his work in the Prado.

      2. Yes I did, and it makes me think it is time for a new visit as it has been quite a long time…
