Artist Expressing Their Uniqueness!

I would like to focus on art this evening. The picture above is a Salvador Dali piece titled, "Stillness in Time". I am using this Salvador Dali painting as an illustration for my response below. Each one of us has something unique to offer the world and we express this uniqueness in the format that comes most natural to us.

"Art is the process or product of deliberately arranging elements in a way to affect the senses or emotions. It encompasses a diverse range of human activities, creations, and modes of expression, including music, literature, film, photography, sculpture, and paintings. The meaning of art is explored in a branch of philosophy known as aesthetics." [source: wikipedia]

Take this Salvador Dali piece, I don't find it attractive. I would not want to pay money for this and then hang it on my wall. Even if someone gave this piece to me as a gift I would not hang it on my wall. But that's because it doesn't suit my taste. It doesn't mean I do not respect him as an artist nor does it mean that I don't appreciate his masterpiece. There are many people around the world who swoon over Salvador Dali works of art. That is a beautiful thing for both the artist and the receiver. Why you ask? Well because they have both found the perfect match that suits their taste.

I follow Mary J. Blige on Twitter because I love her as an artist. A woman sent Mary J. Blige a twitter message and she shared this message with us by retweeting (RT). I mention that because I would not know that this person asked her this question had she not retweeted (RT). I cleaned it up a little so that it could read more legibily. I would like to share my response with you that will conclude what I've shared with you above.

RT @MsDan371 @maryjblige Mary! Why are all your songs melodramatic tunes that explores the complexities of relationships! There are couples that are very happy!

To which I replied, Did it ever occur to you that she is an artist EXPRESSING HERSELF and HER EXPERIENCES? RT @MsDan371 @maryjblige There are couples that are very happy.

@MsDan371 cc: @maryjblige You either love, appreciate and connect with her masterpieces or you don't. As with any work of art.
