RE: Figurative Painting - Anthropocene Artifacts: Human Relation with Nature

in #art7 years ago

Thank you for this article, @fugetaboutit. I found it very informative. I had to google the definition of the Anthropocene epoch, so I learned a new word. I also had a look at John Brosia's other pieces of art. I do not often enjoy more recent works of art, and I tend to stick to the "classics". This article opened my eyes so much so that I plan to visit our National Art Gallery in Pretoria, South Africa, maybe as soon as next week. Time for me to see for myself how art adds commentary to life.

Thank you. I do appreciate your astute comments, especially in relation to the classics. Tradition definitely will always have it's place, despite these transitional changes. Like geological epochs, each has triggers as well as defining elements, yet all are important when viewed in relation to the historical significance.
