Have there been no great women artists?
It is tempting, as a feminist, to disagree and claim there have been great female artists, but Linda Nochlin is right. In her essay, ‘Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?’ she explores the absence of women throughout the development of the art world showing that the lack of female artists is not a matter of them simply being overlooked but rather a series of institutional barriers.
Is AI art still art?
Art is more about creativity and individuality than it is about intelligence. AI can create something that we can perceive as art, but it loses the core qualities that make it something we value. We admire human creation because it is something we can work towards. Rembrandt studied his art before perfecting it, and Klimt encapsulated human love as he, himself, was able to experience it first. AI has never witnessed two people fall in love and has never had its heart broken.
Why do we hate modern art?
We don’t hate modern art necessarily, rather we are undermined by it and rarely understand it. If we were to admire the passion and intricacies of the Pre-Raphaelites next to the abstract expressions of modern artists, we would notice a stark difference that is often seen as a downfall. Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel frescoes evoke awe and help us realise something about how the world once was. We can see the importance of religion in all forms of life, and we can learn about who our ancestors were.
Looking at Christian and Buddhist Relics
It is easy for us to dismiss any similarities between Buddhist and Christian relics considering the diversity in their contributions to the world of art history. Aquinas’ integration of Aristotelian philosophy allowed for a Hellenistic Influence on Christian medieval art, whilst Buddhist art values symbolism over realism, through the involvement of bells and vajras (or the Diamonds of the Truth). This is rarely the case though. The relics of these religions both hold key thematic similarities.
The Art of a Good Pinterest Board
It’s difficult to say what makes anything art, but especially for Pinterest it has to be your own. Something that you can look at and understand as if your own brain has just been scattered onto the screen. It really is about pinning your interests and whatever particular interest has sparked the board. It needs to be inspired and look that way. It’s easiest to think of the board like a person: it needs to feel like someone lives within in and has a personality.
City of Edinburgh Council underspends on housing and homelessness
New figures reveal that £60m meant for building and buying new housing will go unspent by City of Edinburgh Council this year. This is in spite of the existing housing crisis and thousands of homeless families in the city. Corporate Director of Place, Mr Gareth Barwell, claims that the underspending was a result of extreme strain on the amount of available temporary housing.
