Traditional-Modern Fine Art

Whatever do I mean by that???

By "traditional modern art" I mean mostly representational art, in a somewhat modern style. Here is one view...

Scruton on modern art...

"Roger Scruton has written an important article on modern art, one that I encourage you to read in full.

It begins with the question of what high art is for. Scruton observes that modern art is transgressive and aims to shock and confront. Traditional art was oriented more toward beauty.

What is impressive is the further development of these ideas by Scruton. He argues that beauty in art did not exist just for aesthetic purposes but expresses a deeper experience of life, a sense of the sacred, that makes us feel at home in the world  (my own italics) 

Modernists do not feel at home in the world, and therefore aim to desecrate: the mockery, the cultivation of ugliness and the moral transgression is aimed as a pre-emptive strike [Well, really, so what?] against the deeper experience of beauty referred to above. ..."

Some artists I like...


Traditional-Modern Fine Art



I've been looking for other artists sites; here are some I like. I've tried to find artists who have their own .com, or whatever, and sites that are not crowded with extra advertising, or at best, no advertising at all other than the artist's own art. I will be adding more of this from time to time.
