Classical Art, Whats That ?

This is not a site well endowed with Art, I appreciate that,I would also place money on the possibility that few of you that gather here are either interested in the artists I admire or familiar with my little corner of the art World, however I will not be deterred by that, oh no! I will see it as my task to bring a little beauty into your life and make You aware of some of the wondrous paintings that you may not have been aware of before.

Art is very simple for me, I either like it or I am indifferent, it either pleases my Eye or it displeases it; I am not a subscriber to the "what is the artist trying to express here" school of thought, in fact I despise the intellectualization that has dragged our Art Schools down to the point that classical craftsmanship is no longer on most curriculum

These Days the "Idea” or “meaning " is now the most important factor of whether a piece is either good or bad, in the past it was “is this beautiful” .I am old School; I believe that art took a radical turn for the worst when it abandoned skill and craftsmanship in favor of the shock of the new.

At http://www.kingsgalleries.com you will find many more beautiful pieces of classical art that you are probably unaware of, my intention here is to wet your appetite with a few of my favorite Artists and give examples of their work.

Enjoy!
