Moorea Mood

Moorea Mood, watercolor, 8x10, available at SDAI: Museum of the Living Artist, Balboa Park, San Diego, California. $ 100.-
I recently read Paul Zucker's STYLES IN PAINTING, a comparative study. I found this book at a used book store in Hillcrest, a bohemian neighborhood of San Diego, California. He talks about the dual nature of artistic creation: on a first level it is a record of the artist's plastic vision. On another level, he says, the environment, traditions, political and economic circumstances, religious beliefs, etc. exert a powerful influence on the artist's creations.

Hace poco lei un estudio comparativo escrito por Paul Zucker titulado: STYLES IN PAINTING. Encontre este libro en una libreria de libros usados en Hillcrest, un barrio bohemio de San Diego, California. El autor habla de la naturaleza doble de la creacion artistica: en un primer nivel, es un record de la vision plastica del artista. A otro nivel, dice Zucker, el medio ambiente, las tradiciones, las circumstancias politicas y economicas, las creencias religiosas, etc. ejercen una influencia importante en las creaciones del/a artista.
