Art Philosophy
Art comes in many forms and genres. Realism, photorealism, impressionism, abstract, symbolism, fantasy, surrealism, magic realism...the list is endless. Mediums range from oils to acrylics to watercolor, sculpture to collage and then there is performance art. Basically the art lover needs to find art that speaks to his/her interests. The equestrian enthusiast would obviously seek out work that is equine (horse) in nature. One with avian interests would lean to art featuring birds. The mariner will prefer nautical or coastal themes. All work is valid, but all may not appeal to every viewer. It's also important to be able to appreciate the art you have bought. Give your art broker or art consultant or the art gallery owner enough information to make a good art choice for you. An abstract painting of a stallion will have no appeal to you if your real interest is in jungle cats. The mountain climber might be more interested in western art than paintings of the ocean. Brokers and consultants need to know this in order to procure the best art selections for their art collectors. Develop a working relationship with your art professional so that he/she is seeking out the appropriate fine art for your art collection. If you love humor, Norman Rockwell would be a better choice than say...Vincent VanGogh. If florals trip your trigger, Georgia O'Keefe is for you, not Pablo Picasso. As far as style goes, that's important to communicate to your art agent as well. A love of old masters like Leonardo daVinci may lead your art hound to seek out current masters like Nenad Mirkovich, Rod Chase, or Larry Dyke. If you are a fan of Claude Monet, your broker might bring you early works of Thomas Kinkade (when he signed his work Robert Girard) or early works by Cao Yong. If you want christian art, you may lean more toward the work of Tom duBois, James Seward, or current day master Ron DiCianni. Communicating your likes and dislikes and interests to the professional broker procuring work for you is of utmost importance. If art investment is your game, you still want to find that masterpiece that speaks to you, but you also want to know that you are likely to get a good return on your investment. Two words...emerging artist. Find the artist early in his/her art career while you can still buy their artwork at a low enough price to generate a profit in a few years should they become the hot commodity in the art world. Make sure you get good art advice from a pro in the field of art. Fine art galleries, fine art brokers, and fine art consultants can be invaluable to art investors. Watching the trend of art publishers can be a good guide for you. Know the art market trends. Is it veering toward art about water, or paintings of women? Are landscapes selling? Is it taking a more spiritual turn? But above all art needs to appeal to you. Even if you are primarily looking at investing rather than collecting, you should enjoy the pictures hanging on your walls even though you plan to sell the art in a few years. Art appreciation is important in two aspects for the art collection and the art investment portfolio. Meaningful art (to you) enhances your life and your home decor. It has value to you. Art that appreciates in value ($) has another kind of value to you. The trick is to find works of art that both enhance your home interior and enhance your bank account. If you are an art newcomer, get your feet wet by visiting a few fine art galleries. They can be found anywhere from Carmel, CA to Fairhope, AL. Gatlinburg, TN to Honolulu, Hawaii. Blowing Rock, NC to Monterey Bay, CA.
