BLUE MOON

MAIL ART PROJECT

ROMANIA

 

by Jean Hart

 

It's time to send out my paintings for the Blue Moon mail art project in Romania.

What is a blue moon exactly?

I looked it up and here is what it said:

 

A blue moon is an extra full moon that appears in a subdivision of a year, either the third of four full moons in a season or, recently, a second full moon in a month of the common calendar. Metaphorically, a "blue moon" is a rare event, as in the expression "once in a blue moon".

 

My little painting are only postcard size and perfect for sending through the mail.

Please enjoy my artwork.

Be Inspired,

Live to Inspire

Inspire. ...
What moves you to the point that you must do something and then share it with someone?
Inspiring is doing something bold or courageous and then passing this high energy along to someone else.
How do you know if you are the one inspiring or being inspired?
I moved completely away from home at a tender age of 18. With no friends to a new city, college and barely no money.
Was that inspiring?
I married at 21 and again moved far from home to a city with no family or friends, with only $100.00 and no where to live.
Was that inspiring?
Being brave, vibrant, and as authentic as you can in living your life.
Yes, I think that's inspiring.
Telling how I left a job as a baker when I read a fortune cookie that said,
"Move in a different direction to begin your dream life".
Yes, that was inspired!
I hope that I don't just tell people about being inspired, I hope they are inspired by watching how I live my life. How sometimes taking a risk works out, being bold is exciting, taking chances makes your heart beat faster, by picking yourself up after a disappointment and moving forward after a good cry.
Keep moving forward...keep up the curiosity....keep the ideas and concepts coming.
I love this little abstract painting. It was my first attempt at painting concepts. Every time I look at it I see something new. It Inspires Me.
Show yourself to the world.
Breathe in, breathe out.
Be Inspired,
~Jean

Minimalism

Minimalism

 

So what is the point of minimalism?

I went to Seattle and saw some of it at the Seattle Art Museum.

Looking at the one line drawn through a background of blue. I'm thinking, What's this all about?

Am I suppose to be transported to another realm? Am I using this art form to look deeper inside myself? Well, actually, I thought, as an artist, "I'm working too hard if this is whats getting into a serious museum."

Frank Stella once said of his paintings, "What you see is what you see."

Oh, okay, that clears it up.

When and where was minimalism popular, 1960-1975 USA.

Minimalism, because of its very form for having no subject or focal point to keep the viewer interested moved on to Conceptual Art.

Minimalism was a gateway to jump into Abstract and Conceptual artwork. It's place was needed for the cerebral movement to begin. Once people started to view the bold, daring, and emptiness in its simplicity. The viewer could easily move past it on to a piece they then could relate to in abstact form.

Some of the Minimalism artist you may want to look for are:

Carle Andre, Dan Flavin, Eva Hesse, Donald Judd.
