Currently showing at the <a href="http://pca.pittsburgharts.org/current-exhibits" target="_blank">Pittsburgh Center for the Arts</a> are a set of 5 mini exhibitions, with last nights opening reception garnering great reactions. The word on the street, "This is a really nice show". Its somewhat eclectic groupings are a token to it's appeal. <br />

There
are constant threats to the ecological health of the Everglades, from
urban sprawl and drainage for irrigation to invasive species i.e. the
giant boa constrictor or the Australian melaleuca tree. Ongoing efforts
are attempting against great obstacles to restore the Everglades and
tackle these systemic problems.<br />
<br />
Why save the
everglades? Considered one of the most important wetlands in the world
the Everglades are the home to a vibrant verity of fish, crustaceans,
birds, reptiles, and amphibians that need the specific habitat that only
the Everglades provides. They are also home to a countless number of
plant life including the Cypress tree like the one depicted in this
logo.</div>

The brothers Horatii, hailing from Rome, accept the charge to fight the Curiatii also three brothers, from neighboring Alba Longa, to settle a war between the two city states. A proud father Publius Sr. raises swords to his unified sons, at a high pitch of stoicism. Their tribute to Rome is considered a great honor. Averting the crisis is a necessity.<br />
<br />
Jaques-Louis David has a power which he employs in the contrast of powerful actionable men who are all muscle, guts and steel, to the weeping women which they pay no attention. Each knows full well the dangers of this undertaking, their bloodshed to save the lives of many. Their sister stands to lose a fiancé in the brothers Curiatii adding to her dismay.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Upon the day of the battle the Horatii three dismount, clad and armed to kill. The entire legion of warriors watch from their respective sides, as the fate of their land lies in the hands of but three. Battle ensues, the back and forth is strong both sides have great warriors. When suddenly two Horatii are struck down, but not before grave injury is inflicted upon their foes. The last remaining brother Publius Jr., outnumbered three to one, turns and runs. The men from Rome moan at the show of cowardice. The brothers Curiatii follow his retreat only to have their wounds agitated and inflamed. Using this advantage, and by separating his opponents Publius is able to execute the Curiatii one by one.<br />
<br />
Considered the preeminent painter of his time, Jaques-Louis David's found himself rising to popularity alongside his paintings. After eleven months of painting, people visited the finished<i> Oath of the Horatii</i> at his studio in the Piazza del Popolo. So struck by its magnificence the people laid a carpet of flowers beneath. The painting moved to the Louvre and when a free exhibition was held the painting became an instant success, giving pause to the French public.<br />
<br />
Publius returns to Rome and he is given a hero's welcome, the mantle of his victory is hung in the piazza for all to see. When his sister finds that he has defeated the Curiattii she cries out for her fallen fiancé. Publius is enraged by her actions and thrusts his sword into her chest killing her saying, "So perish any Roman woman who mourns the enemy". This pride he feels for Rome and the anger he still harbors for brothers lost is too much for him to control.<br />
<br />
The <i>Horatii</i> is as neoclassical as it gets, and perhaps David is the namesake of the movement. The figures are certainly modeled in the tradition of ancient Greece, but David is far too invested to abandon reality for the ideal. It is also a moral history painting and a work of propaganda. David needed his painting to appeal to the people and those moralist thinkers the philosophers. Although its morals may not align with our own the painting has a strong effect. Honor and sacrifice are notably strong feelings, it also invokes country and loss, and victory for that matter. The painting is seen as an image that defined the following French revolution for these reasons. David was a master technician at powerful narrative that reaches to the core. <br />
<br />
Tullus the king of Rome, despite his recent victory, is moved to bring Publius to trial. It is decided then that he should be put to death. Publius Sr. pleads to the king to let the people decide his sons fate, that he has lost three children already and could not stand to lose another. The King agrees. Upon seeing Publis' fearless appearance towards the sentence and his fathers passionate plea the people decide to let him live remembering his great victory for Rome.<br />
<br />
No part of a painting monumental as this is left to chance. <br />

<br />
It is a reality that non objective art has been popular in the New York art scene for many years (some time after WWII). I can't say exactly where it stands today. It is a-kin to such movements as color fields, futurist or cubic abstraction, but non objective art is a mode with marked differences in artistic interpretation. Its strongest aspect the absence of original subject. In other words non objective art does not resemble any real world object nor should it be inspired by one.<br />

Of course it takes away the craft of making the painting, which might put an even further gap between the human element and viewer. I have heard many people say that modern art, like this, feels cold. I can't say that I disagree. I will say that this strongly design oriented hard edge work has a strength of it own in pure color and direct movement. Non objective painting follows arts tradition, and our preference, for harmonious colors and balanced composition. <br />

It is understandable why an artist would try to create something that has no resemblance to an actual object. With pure form there is no pressure to capture a likeness, and the painting can become art for the sake of the art. The artist might think, "why make a representation of something that already exists, photography can take care of that?", and with representation out the window the art has a chance to react to itself, so the artist makes all the decisions.<br />
<br />

<br />
If you see some non-objective art, and many contemporary museums have some of it, I suggest that you try not to think what it means, but about it's relationship to art in the broader sense. This type of painting can be very successful in capturing a feeling or a concept which words do not impart.<br />

Inside the <a href="http://www.cwpress.com/" target="_blank">Common-wealth Press</a> / <a href="http://saplingpress.com/about" target="_blank">Sapling Press </a>warehouse last night I was pleasantly libated with amazing <a href="http://pittsburghcraftbeerweek.com/" target="_blank">craft beers</a>, and was treated to the visual delights of an old friend, the graphic tee.<br />

The warehouse really doesn't have much charm, except for those who would drool over an 8 screen printing station (screen heads, print-o-holics?). In fact it's what you might expect for a warehouse, a cinder block building on a back road with loading docks, small and few windows as I recall. It would feel austere, but on this occasion it felt like a warm summer day once all the laundry had been hung to dry and everything you own is its own piece of art. Oh, and your friends have come over to admire it all while taking in some fine libation.<br />
<br />
Brushing up against soft shirts as you walk through felt like this bygone that I am sure nearly none of us have experience with. Why there is a scene from a Helen Keller biopic playing in my head is hard to pinpoint. There is some comfort in t-shirts, and even if our mothers never hung the cloths up to dry she took care to make them fresh and warm, and that's why we all love tees. Many would say the clothes make the man, on this night cloths were the canvas.<br />
<br />
Pittsburghers already wear their pride on their sleeve.<br />

The <a href="http://www.creax.com/csa/frame.asp?session=zero">CREAX</a> is a creativity test that takes no more than 10 minutes.<br />
<br />
At the end you will be given a full assessment of your creative skills. If I told you it would give you an assessment of your spacial aptitude, you might not take the test, but then you might be confused enough to answer such questions unbiasedly. Depending on your preference you might be tempted to, even unconsciously, influence your score. According to the test, getting what you want is a hallmark of creativity.<br />

uses for a brick: <br />
(a) hat,car,fire starter, paperweight, umbrella, porter john, thumbtack, whistle...<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The image to the left is from the second time that I took the test, I wanted to see how outrageous a score was possible. probably because I am so curious. <br />
<br />
This "brick test" or alternative uses test, has become a popular way to test creativity. I have some lurking suspicion about it. Of course the computer algorithm that scores this specific test can't delineate between meaningful answers and farce. Human scoring of such a test could be done on merit of answers, yet there is a point when answers become less about the brick and more about its actionable purpose towards other things. A brick and what?<br />
However, I believe it does show creative to be in a situation where one of your few limited resources is a brick and to have a useful solution incorporating it into such things as surroundings and other resources. Does it show creativity to come up with hypothetical answers with meaningless outcomes? Intrinsically a brick can be used to build, but is dependent upon the number of bricks that one has. So I ask, "Why a single brick?". The notion that a single brick without others is next to useless makes the task of coming up with answers much more difficult. If this, the purpose of the test, is to give creative minds a serious challenge then I suppose it has done its job.<br />
<br />
I will reserve the right to credit people with creativity that can demonstrate it under truer circumstances.<br />

<br />
The first time I took the test as genuinely as I could, my favorite category is Paradox, "The ability to simultaneously accept and work with statements that are contradictory". This visual representation is finely adapted for a visual person. <br />
<br />

<br />
Probably the most subjective question on the test is this one, if still a crude metric for creativity. How is this question scored? Color theory would say that a cool color composition is next to calmness, a warm one to passion. These all seem to be harmonious color combinations suggesting that no matter which you pick you have good color sense. The compositions are nearly the same in shape except where adjacent shapes have been given the same color.<br />
<br />
In the end I would suggest taking this test as lightly as you might one in <i>People.</i> </div>Gavin Fiorinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07979084633102811454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3609427019520418101.post-800753293269499822012-04-09T00:30:00.000-04:002012-04-09T10:05:23.804-04:00Edward J.
