We learnt last week, that people can be understood as a bunch of characters like in a Punch and Judy show, all working within the same person at the same time, kind of a multiple personality. Three of them were part of that painting, king, robber and crocodile. These considerations led to a basic understanding of the general impact art has on people. Art works from within, showing images, evoking feelings, transforming the art consumer along the way. This can be seen very easily with movies, them being mostly fairy tales for adults.
Movies make heavy use of the stuff dreams are made of.
People often use movies to feel better, and last week I got notice of a web site maintained by psychologists, qualifying movies frankly as a cure for psychological problems. Parabol Original Work by Anne Stahl in Gallery Beck at Art Quarter Art Quarter features 5 galleries at present. Gallery Beck is devoted to modern painting, showing Joe Doe with Expressionist paintings and Anne Stahl with abstract paintings. She is inspired by barren places, ice and glaciers. Her works are made of a multitude of materials and cross the boundary to reliefs at times.
