A Simple Guide
We often hear this common phrase: “I don’t know much about art, but I know what I like.” This is a great place to begin. Patronizing artists and their original works can be intimidating. Here is a simple guide to help you in this process.
We use three categories for approaching art. The catagories create a straight forward path to help you start and build your contemporary art collection, patrimony and an informed art view.
Decorative - everyday subjects to beautify our life and spaces. They evoke emotions to wake up our humanity and connect with reality.
Religious - everyday and transcendental subjects pointing towards the Good, the True and the Beautiful. The images awakens our humanity and spirituality.
Sacred - art work that is decorative and religious, but distinctly used for worship. The art work awakens our humanity, spiritually, and soul.
One can easily apply these idea to other moments in our lives, such as family picnic, a Christmas meal, or wedding feast. We can also apply these ideas to other arts, when hearing great music from folk music, a symphony, or a Mass. We unconsciously use these ideas ourselves when we encounter beautiful objects and events. These categories inform us in our experiences, in creating new art work, and joyful intentional living. We are pleased to partner with you in building a new culture for beauty and a new regionalism.
