Whats is Fashion? What is Art?

What Is Fashion? What is Art

What is fashion or what is art ? The question just roles around in my head. Are they too that much alike or are they to much apart. Well contrary to popular belief they are much alike. They border the same realm, which is creativity, spirituality (fashion and art are believed to be a way of life), and last but not least difference( abstract, not of the norm, whatever you want to call it). This is how I feel when I see clothing or when I see art. There are many artists out there but one strikes a major cord in me. His name is Vasily Kandinsky the aesthetic theorist and pioneer abstract artist. He was an artist that didn't use the obvious. He wanted you to look past the regular observations of everyday life or the external world. He strove to give his paintings a freedom from nature that he admired in music. Kandinsky was an intricate part in the Development of the Solomon Paige Guggenheim Museum where 100 of his pieces are being exhibited . His works of art are not only housed in the museum, they were the inspiration in the architectural design of the building . The building was designed by Frank Llyod, this was one of his greatest and proudest achievements.

Kandinsky hand 6 main themes that his artwork is derived from Horse and Rider, Apocalypse, Landscape, Music, Geometry, and Scientific Imagery. His dream of fostering a better and spiritual future era through trans formative power is symbolized through an energetic hoarse carrying its lonely rider. Many of his themes have different meanings which can be better explained in person if you go out and see these works of art for yourself. They are being showed at the Guggenheim Museum till Jan 13Th, 2010. Please Stimulate your mind and do something different from the regular mundane conventional stuff that you do every weekend.
