The purpose of art is to get people feeling things.
Art is a language of the heart which then communicates itself to thought.
The purpose of the artist is to select things from the wondrous chaos of life and draw our attention to them while reveling in presenting these things from a particular perspective. As the editor for Modern Adventure I will be selecting works from a very personal set of criteria. These criteria represent a perspective I wish to emphasize here. When we are emerging artists, it is very sexy to approach our work from the dark brooding perspective of someone trying to gain recognition. We tend to worship other previous emerging artists who express the anger and frustration we feel.
