Art Work
Everyone is an artist;
Or so says the teacher;
The object is to become a better artist;
At the risk of sounding like a preacher.
Van Gogh had a lust for life;
In spite of his mental health;
Ultimately succumbing to his strife;
His brother and the market could not generate a timely wealth.
Perhaps Picasso is the greatest of all time;
The GOAT takes his rightful place;
The art world concurs with Gertrude Stein;
Wherever he puts eyes and nose on a face.
Popular culture by Andy;
The things we see and do every day;
In a gallery contest – it’s a dandy;
See the ordinary in a different way,
Super real, surreal, sublime,
Salvador can blow your mind;
Dali curling his trademark mustache;
An enduring style that is sure to last.
Abstract, color field, contemporary, Haring, Banksy, Basquiat;
On display for all to admire or eschew.
Graffiti is an origin – believe it or not;
You can decide if it appeals to you.
What will you do and how?
Study, imitate, or break new ground;
What will be the next new thing now?
Practice and work your process for what may be found.
