It's been an honor working with @paeartforacause.bsky.social ...now I don't need to explain why I've neglected my private account. 😊

A huge thank you to our Executive Director, @cgrayweihman.bsky.social , who wears more hats than would fit on the arms of an octopus! 😄Right now she's buried in the final accounting and tallying all the numbers. Your kind spirit and skills carry us forward! #postcardartexhibit26

1. Art is not a competition 2. Sentimentality is not art 3. The camera removed the goal of art being realistic looking & set it free 4. Art is honest authentic emotion - that’s why a great Rembrandt & your child’s drawing, for you, are equally important. 5. Art lifts us out of ourselves

Guernica (1937) knocks Korea into a cocked hat! Why? Well his Korea is cerebral & draws on Picasso’s anti-war Communist politics. Guernica is his native Spain, his people, his homeland attacked. It’s authentic emotion - not logical exposition.

Love this. [At the heart of the distinction is the recognition that those fruits are offered to the world not as a service or a transaction but as a gift — “the gift we long for, the gift that, when it comes, speaks commandingly to the soul and irresistibly moves us.”]
