«The Composer» as an art print, is a new work that I have uploaded to my gallery at Fine Art America, the only company that does my fine art prints, who handles the entire transaction and who ships to you quickly. This is a great way to support original art at affordable prices. Check out my gallery at Fine Art America often as I often revise the work I upload.

CHEERS…

They handle the entire operation and ship quickly to you. This is a phenomenal way to support original art at very, but very affordable prices!

CHEERS…

Si te pasas del limite de velocidad te suenan una multa; si obstruyes la acera en un bar, puff! Multa! Pero si pintorreas la propiedad ajena, miran para otro lado. ¿Por qué?

¿Por qué tienen que lucir así nuestras ciudades?

Pero aquí no se ven esas guarradas…

GRACIAS

I only use Fine Art America to make my fine art prints from my images. These are images that I especially create for this purpose. Fine Art America handles the entire transaction and ships quickly to you as soon as your order is ready. The print you see here is the framed print of this new artwork, «Jazz Noir», but there are many other styles to choose from as well as other items with this image, «Jazz Noir». It is an affordable way to have original, unique art in your walls. Check out my gallery at Fine Art America, and do it often as I often change its contents.

CHEERS…

Que alguien me diga porque permiten que pintorreen las paredes, en fin, la propiedad ajena, de esa manera… Que alguien me explique porque tenemos que enfrentarnos día a día a esa fealdad… Y que, por favor, os urjo, que alguien me diga porque tenemos que soportar esa falta de urbanidad… Así están las calles de Valencia, pero me imagino que las de tu ciudad también y esto no debería de permitirse porque medios hay para frenar esta oleada de guarradas en las paredes y en casi todas partes, porque no hay ni un solo de estos garabatos horrendos en la ciudad de las artes y las ciencias…

Can someone tell me why they allow these scribblings on the walls, on private and public property?

Can someone explain to me why we have to look at these ugly markings every day?

And can someone tell me, and I urge you to give me an answer, why we have to be confronted with this lack of civility?

These are the streets of my city, Valencia, but I am guessing they could be the streets of your city as the whole of Europe is suffering this indignity…

But I am sure that high standing neighbourhoods are clean and decent…

LA DELINCUENCIA NO PUEDE QUEDAR INPUNE

DELINQUENCY CANNOT BE LEFT UNPUNISHED

I always thought that artists (painters and sculptors) only had to display their works and with that they said it all. However, as you can see, here we are talking away, theorising and explaining. Art History (as an academic course) has become too long and too coarse. It collects, like a rubbish bag, everything that they throw into it. Styles of art are mostly defined by critics, «professors,» and journalists supposedly specialised in writing about art. I will tell you what I think of each of those groups.

First the art critics. To this group I give very little value and very little time. I can do without them and I wipe my nose with their critiques. We all know how to judge and how to determine what we like or don’t like, so we do not need a parrot to tell us what is good or not or to guide us. Second, the supposed teachers or professors. Well, this group is seemingly very important because they are to teach art students and guide them towards becoming artists. But they lose all their value when, in place of teaching the fundamentals, they serve as advocates for their own favourite style or artists. This creates students that really do not know much about making art, losing sight of the fundamentals of painting, sculpture, lithography or ceramics.

The art journalists, or those who write about art. Being those that tell us about openings, dates, times, the artist or artists involved. They are good for that, to help us fill in dates in our calendars to go see an exhibition, or not. But they go further, they promote those they like, or those that seem to be in the present «vanguard» and ignore the rest like the plague. Most of these «journalists» are frustrated or failed artists themselves. They probably failed because they did not work hard enough or dedicate enough time. Art requires hard work, and talent is only developed through sweat, effort and time. One is not born with talent, one develops it if one is interested in what they are doing. So I really do not have many good things to say about those who only write about those in the current mix (or those who pay them). Great journalism I’d say!
