Around a month ago I visited an exhibition called Emotions by the painter Mar铆a Luchoro. I posted some photos from that exhibition in this post and I tried to bring them in the form of my impressions that those colours and shapes reflected on me. Artworks, if they are genuine, can cause reactions and emotions in us. This does not happen by chance. Of course, a lot depends on our ability and sensitivity to catch the message and that thin emotional thread without which art would not be art. But it also depends on the creator of the artwork and how she/he wants to present his thoughts, and her/his message to the audience. Some works capture us with their general message, or in their entirety. Others bring us details, small moments from which we build our impression. Details that contribute to the quality and content of the artwork. Sometimes we notice them, sometimes we don't, but they certainly mean a lot.
I think this can be seen in many other things that surround us. Let's take music as an example now. Without the details that a musician meticulously works on, what would be the value of what we hear? Of course, maybe you won't notice all those little things while you are at a concert, but you feel that you have been captivated by the power of music. It is also thanks to that that the composer or performer worked on details that, although they remain in the background, completely change the result.
The choir director with whom I usually practice and perform once said that music should never just "fill time in space", but that it has to trigger emotions, memories and reactions in the listener which will enrich the experience gained at that moment of listening to the performance of a musical piece. Today I have practised some details, and although I felt my day was completely unproductive I hope my efforts will make some difference tomorrow. That is why I remember this exhibition and the fact I mentioned to @avdesing in that post, that there were many details the paintings had. As you see, now I am bringing those that I skipped, with their details.
Random details from other paintings. The first photo shows a detail from the painting Sunset, then the blue broken net is a detail from the painting called Tired. You could see them in my previous post from this exhibition. The treble clef and the music notes are also from the same painting, Tired.
The details that I liked the most could be seen in the painting of the lady with a hat. The one on the right side, Chic. There were dry flower petals and twigs, as well as dry leaves. These dead elements from nature found their place in this painting. Actually, they actively contributed to the attractiveness and liveliness of this artwork.
Her face spoke words... newspapers again, and dry petals on her hat. Definitely my favourite from today's selection. 馃槈
