The meaning of art and the variety of styles has shifted so much that people of past centuries and cultures would be confused and possibly disgusted at the sight of the more recent art styles. Even so, the art world continues to change as the years pass by, and many parties contribute to that. Artists, of course, have largest role in creating new styles of art and changing old ones, but critics, color theorists, the purchasers, and the audience all influence the art world in a various ways. And even artists will exert their influence in a variety of ways. Some do it solely through their own artwork, others through …show more content…

What I suffered is incredible, but I have lived: what I am suffering now is terrible, much worse even than when I was young, full of zeal and enthusiasm. Now I am convinced that my future is dead. Yet I think that if I had to start all over again, I would not hesitate to follow the same …show more content…
The older artist took him under his wing when he saw Pissarro sketching ships at the harbor. Within a year, they were close enough friends to travel together, with very little warning, to Venezuela.

In this life of poverty, though, he was able to paint. Upon making this life changing decision, Gauguin moved around France, spending brief periods of time in Rouen and Pont Avon, looking for work.

For instance if two different people called A and B look at the same painting of an American soldier dying in war, the painting is going to generate different sensations in them according to the experiences they have had with those kind of images in their lives. If A’s father was an honorable war hero who died in combat when A was relatively young, the painting might generate feelings of nostalgia, pride, and melancholy to A, but on the other hand, if B is a Vietnamese kid who saw how an American soldier shot his father in the head, B is obviously going to absorb feelings of resentment, hatred, and even antipathy from the image. In conclusion, I think art has become another relative concept where people are the ones in charge to define as art or trash, to me art can be anything since simplicity and complexity are both beautiful in their own worlds.
