I'm still thinking about Western Washington's campus that we toured on Monday.
(Here are my cute tour-ee's)
The majority of Western's campus is much 'younger' than the UW and more modern in feel. There's lots of brick put to great use - both on the buildings and in the walkways. And apparently one of the things Western is known for is its extensive modern-outdoor-sculpture collection.
I've always been an unapologetic representational sort of artist. And while there is some abstract art that I appreciate (like local friend/artist Angela Wales Rockett), some of it, especially three-dimensional forms can leave me absolutely mystified...
(this piece is nick-named 'the Giant Orange Mosquito')
Stairs...to nowhere....?
Pieces of a wooden-beam pyramid...
But this one... why???
And this big steel rectangular thing...?? Sculpture? I really don't get it.

This week’s Illustration Friday prompt is the word “cultivate”. So…Clumsy the Bunny is trying to cultivate a taste in abstract art. However, it’s sometimes difficult to change how one sees things. Can’t say I blame him. It IS almost time for dinner!

Partial, holey cube.. (I do like this one - but it's something I can name..)
But this one... why???
And this big steel rectangular thing...?? Sculpture? I really don't get it.

I just finished this the other day. Had to wait for good light to photograph it. I had so much fun making this, that I may make some more to sell in my shop. Any interest out there?

Some time ago (I’m talking July here) the lovely Lauren Cerand pointed out that Carrie Frye at About Last Night was yearning for a copy of Faustus: From the German of Goethe Translated by Samuel Taylor Coleridge edited by Frederick Burwick and James C. McKusick. So I ordered a copy with the intent of sending Ms. Frye a surprise package. Alas, the book did not arrive until November! So with my deepest apologies I am putting the book in the mail today, with the hopes that it will still brighten Ms. Frye’s day. Better late than never right? Sadly, I can not send you all a copy so I have excerpted the introduction from the book which gives us some background on Coleridge. Enjoy!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834), the youngest of the ten children of Reverend John and Ann Bowden Coleridge, was born at Ottery St Mary in Devon. He attended the local grammar school until the year following his father’s death in 1781, when he was sent to the charity school at Christ’s Hospital in London. In 1791 he entered Jesus College, Cambridge. In 1794, he met with Robert Southey and became engaged to Sara Fricker, the sister of Southey’s fiancee. With Southey, he planned to establish a commune, a pantisocracy, on the banks of the Susqehanna in America. In their political zeal they also jointly wrote The Fall of Robespierre, published September of that year. (more…)

I know art is in the eye of the beholder but I just don't get or like most of the art like that. to each their own of course, but my mind just boggles at the amount of money people pay for art like that.
at least that beam pyramid acts like a huge bench lol
I have a 'thing' about modern sculpture.
To me it so often looks like a middle school project.
Wow! How lovely, darling......
then it is set aside
not paid a gazillion dollars for and set up for eternity in a public place
see Richard Serra etc.
I'm sure I'm mean but in the blogosphere one is alloed opinions...
I hope.
love from NY
I remember when I discovered your paintings when we were in Morocco and how beautifully detailed they were.
REAL art.......!
Thank you, Tara. I'm honored.
And a lot of modern art mystifies me too.
Yes well, some of those do rather boggle the mind a bit. But I do like the stairs. Much more fun than a stairmaster.
My cats would love the rectangle one. Better than a moving box! :)
As a non artist who doesn't get modern sculptures either I now feel better!! I have never been able to figure out what makes one steel box a box and another art. I do like the stairs I could go over them or sit on them. The giant mosquito thing not so much. I like the cube thing too.
Perhaps it all doubles as an army assault course? Or training facility for guard dogs?
