Statement
|
|
"To understand an artist it is not enough with being able to appreciate his art technique. To conform to that will be walk half way through a path with forms without any concern of what there may be said. That will be to conform alone with the very organized "matter" on a canva, paper, wood, etc. Any GOOD DECORATOR with a basic drawing, painting training and some imagination can do that. To understand an artist you need also, in addition to the technique, to face his statement in his works, to classify it and to evaluate it. For this is necessary to READ HIM (the artist), through his distance traveled in his lived enviroment and the way he had incorporated those experiences with his feelings in the Art."
Felix Berroa, 1995, Long Island, New York.
"Para entender un artista no basta con apreciar su tecnica en el arte. Conformarse con eso seria recorrer la mitad de un camino de formas sin preocuparse de lo que alli se pueda decir. Eso seria conformarse con la materia bien organizada sobre un lienzo, papel, madera, etc. Cualquier buen DECORADOR con un entrenamiento basico de dibujo, pintura y un poco de imaginacion puede hacer eso. Para entender un artista se necesita tambien, ademas de la tecnica, enfrentarse al mensaje en sus trabajos, clasificarlo y evaluarlo. Para esto es necesario LEERLO A EL (al artista), a traves de su recorrido en su ambiente vivido y la manera que el ha incorporado estas experiencias con sus sentimientos en el Arte."
Felix Berroa, 1995, Long Island, New York
