March Series topic is “Fear” and how it relates to independent artists careers.
“Acceptance is not submission; it is acknowledgement of the facts of a situation. Then deciding what you're going to do about it.” -Kathryn Casey Theisen
"To have your art received as legitimate work and not dismissed as a hobby, craft, or mid-life crisis".
Cultural and societal rituals surround us in our daily
lives. These rituals reinforce
morality, opinions, and the expectations of “others” dictating how one behaves
in civilized society.
A common childhood playground ritual of getting picked for a
team- The desire to be accepted by the cool kids, and the absolute horror and
humiliation of being chosen LAST or not accepted by the group.
As a creative person having your art accepted as legitimate work during your
lifetime and not dismissed as a craft or hobby seems to have existed as long as art in all its forms has been created.
For many non-artists, accepting a new form of creative
expression that has not been long established, means in their mind it is “not
art” and it is dismissed.
BIRTH OF IMPRESSIONISM:
In the 19th century art world the Beaux-Arts in France was
the standard that paintings were measured. A small group of realist painters, Monet, Sisley,
Renior, Bazille, and later Manet, Pissaro, Cezzane were all artists who's works were rejected
by the Beaux-Arts Jury’s.
After seeing the rejected works, Napoleon the III felt the public should weigh in, and
the Salon de Refuses (Salon of the Refused) was organized.
This ultimatly was the birth of a entirely new art movement
“impressionism”
Despite the huge success of the Impressionism movement, the success eluded
Cezzane, Monet, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Van Gogh during their lifetimes .
APPROVAL: " To have everyone LIKE your art"
The reaction to creating art, manifesting your inner vision
into a reality. As artists we get our energy, inspiration, and fulfillment in
the process of creating, and sharing our work with the world.
