The post Theme of Love: 26 Most Admired Paintings of Love in Art appeared first on The Artist.

Easy, you may say. Someone who makes art.

Well. Okay, so an artist is someone who makes art.

But is everyone who makes art an artist?

Is someone who does sketches on their dinner napkin given the same title as someone who has worked for years on their craft?

And while we’re at it, what are we counting as art anyway?

It is just painting and sculpture, or should we take it in its broader context of The Arts, with dance and music and performance?

Or even broader – think about someone who may be referred to as an artist in a non-artistic field, maybe because of their incredible skills or creative problem-solving.

What exactly is an artist?

Every person has the ability and potential to be creative.

Creativity could be simply defined as using imagination to make something. That might serve as a pretty good way to describe art, too.

Creativity isn’t about a new age, hipster, or beatnik look or lifestyle; you don’t have to don a new personality or even learn a fine art to be creative.

You have an idea, and you turn it into a painting, recipe, building, or knitting pattern. So creativity is the process. And artistry is the skillset.

Art is something that is created, an artist must be someone who creates.

This is a good starting point.

It is also the one thing that all artists share.

Artists being people, and people being the amazingly flawed being that we are, no two artists will be alike.

But there is a spark that all artists share.

The fact that they create, and glorify their creator by doing so, runs through them like a seam of gold through a mine.

So we know what an artist does. Let’s look at how on earth they do it.

And How Do You Feel About That?

“Art does not reproduce what is visible; it makes things visible.” Paul Klee, artist

One of the reasons the nature of art and those who create it is so hard to pin down is that it is usually emotionally driven. Not just: “I am angry; therefore, I will throw red paint at this canvas”. It’s a nuanced awareness of emotion.

The better an artist’s awareness of their emotional state, the better they will be able to chase down what they want to create and why.

“Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” Carl Jung

1. Cultivating Curiosity

Once an artist has a spark,  that idea needs to be built on. To do this, you need, well, more ideas.

More thoughts, feelings, facts, plans. It would help if you chased down every lead.

Artists are, as a rule, curious. The need to probe and look deeper, beyond the surface. All people are curious to a degree, of course. But for artists, cultivating curiosity means an ability to ask even more questions than before – to keep the mind going.

You may see a tree in a garden and appreciate its beauty.

Or you may start to wonder whether the tree knows that it is beautiful, or if the birds landing on it thinks so, or if it was the bird’s sense of smell that told it to land there, and if you could see smells, what would they look like? And so on.

The more questions we ask, the more we have, and it is this way we cultivate curiosity, something vital for any artist.

2. Keep Cynicism at Arm’s Length

H.L. Menken defined a cynic as “a man who, when he smells flowers, looks around for a coffin.”

Here, we come to a crossroads. Or, maybe, a barrier, something that separates artists from those who want to be artists more often than not. Having an idea is fairly easy. Making it into something is the challenge.

To do this, you need to be wary of cynicism: the instinct to mistrust and doubt, to always look for the dark side and reasons why something won’t work.

Art involves faith.

The artist must believe that they can make the thing they have in their head. Even if it is difficult, they must believe that it is possible. Otherwise, they’d never try.

3. Willing to Work

So, we have an idea. We’ve built on the idea, and we’ve decided to go for it.

Now comes the tricky part. Turning that idea into something that exists. Believing in yourself is the start, and it’s an important start, but then you have to get to work.

“If you’re an artist, you’ve got to prove it.” –Laurence Olivier

It would be best if you were willing to put in time and effort.

It’s one thing to have the most fantastic dance number ever conceived of by man in your head.

It’s another to have the physical ability to perform it or to have the teaching ability to instruct someone else.

An artist works on their craft.

They determine the skillset they need, and they practice. And when they fail, failure is inevitable at some point (see the earlier note r.e. humanity’s amazing flaws) they practice repeatedly until they can bring the idea in their head into the real world.

4. The Balance Beam

When it comes to the actual creation, art – and the artist – needs to find a balance. This goes for both the process of the work and the ideas themselves.

You can balance a disciplined training regime with time to play around with new ideas.

You can balance conservative tendencies with rebellious principles, your emotions, and those of the people around you; real life and fantasy.

The balance will allow the artist to determine what is important to their work and what is not.

Vincent Van Gogh, for example, famously left patches of unfinished canvas on Starry Night.

This is certainly not perfection – but those spots were left empty because Van Gogh decided to leave them, not because he lacked the skill to fill them.

He was balancing skill with artistic intent.

5. Being Brave

An artist must be brave.

Because it can get pretty scary, showing the world an idea that germinated in your emotions and came to be through your ideas and skills. You can get hurt.

Not only that but as an artist grows, they have to admit their current failings. How can you improve if you think of yourself as perfect? Being open to criticism means learning new things and constantly expanding what you can do.

“It reflects no great honor on a painter to be able to execute only one thing well… confining himself to some particular object of study. This is so because there is scarcely a person so devoid of genius as to fail of success if he applies himself earnestly to one branch of study and practices it continually.” – Leonardo da Vinci

Conclusion: Being An Artist

Being an artist is not limited to one medium, or activity, or skill.

An artist stays engaged and curious.

They look at themselves and the world and keep an awareness of both.

They follow new ideas. They build their skills, then use them to turn their ideas into something real.

They fight for their work.

An artist makes art.

When reincarnated they become more explicit in their attraction for the opposite sex and demonstrate it. The goddesses who happen to be the spouses of these gods are not left out in this display of affection as they often portray their love for their husbands assertively and sensually.

Gods and goddesses represent the concept of dualism, like two performers doing a duet, one relying on the other, they complement each other.

Krishna’s love encompasses the whole concept of love, commonly an emotion, a strong attachment, and personal attraction. Love is the basis for any relationship no matter how fickle and this has made it a major theme in creative arts.

Krishna by every physical standard was irresistible and appealing. Ancient texts talk about his alluring countenance, hair, complexion, and other elements of his beauty at length.

To date, he faithfully represented with a yellow garment, a crown of peacock feathers sitting pretty on his head and a smile on his lips.

1.Krishna and the Gopas huddle in the rain.

In a forest in Braj, there is a lotus-filled pool with cattle huddled together. We see Krishna and his cowherd friends (gopals). It is the rainy season and beneath a cloudy, swirling sky it is seen that several of the gopas are putting on hooded jackets as protection against the heavy rain while Krishna takes his place under a leafy umbrella.

Indra, king of gods and lord of the heavens sent the rain as retaliation because Krishna persuaded the gopas to worship him alone and not Indra.

Shortly after taking refuge from the rain, Krishna will lift mount Govardhan represented by the large rock Krishna sits on, with his little finger. This is a show of his superpower and the gopals showing approval for his superpower to take shelter under the raised mountain.

The cloud in the sky, the tree with a gnarled look, dark colors, heavy faces, and figures are distinguishing features of the artist. Steven Kossak has called it the Master of the swirling skies. Kossak regards this picture paying attention to the overall tone, somber sky, background, and foreground with warm tones restricted to the bright red of Krishna’s dhoti and little touches of yellow.

2.Ras Lila: Krishna dances with the Gopis

Here, Krishna is the center of attraction as he plays the flute at the center of a circle of dancers made up of seven gopis or milkmaids, and seven figures of Krishna.

The god has magically multiplied himself so that each gopi thinks he is dancing with her alone. Musicians from different angles provide music for this show of love, while five gods, taking note of Krishna’s prominence hover in the sky.

The deities are the moon god Chandra, seen driving a chariot driven by two antelopes. Second is Indra, the god of the heavens on a white elephant. The four-headed Brahma is spotted riding on a goose, the cobra adorned Shiva on a bull, and Surya the sun god on a chariot drawn by two horses.

These gods are carting flowers to the ground as a way to pay homage to Krishna and his dance team. The flowers adorn both the earthly and the heavenly parts of the picture.

As the case is with early Pahari painting, the composition breaks into the white borders on the right and left, making it look as if the page orientation could not conveniently make room for the thrusting.

Krishna’s great team of dancers is replicated by the stunted circle of trees at the top center and by the lotus flowers, rounded buds, and leaves in the lower panel of water. You can almost hear the continuous drumbeat of the musicians and the rhythm of the dancers.

3.The lovers Radha and Krishna are in the palm grove.

Here, NANDA a cowherd who was Krishna’s father by adoption, urged Radha to accompany Krishna home because he is scared of the dark. Graced dancers, the lovers stop to share a warm embrace on the banks of Yamuna River, around them trees carry out a dance in twos, re-enacting the stages of their developing attraction for each other.

On the farther shore of the river, there are visible rounded hills beneath a sky shining bright with stars. With the beautiful interpretations of the forest during springtime, the painting gives roots to the rustic setting in which other paintings from the romantically inclined Gita Govinda series will unfold.

Gesticulations made with the hand and body as well as eye movements are seemingly more important in India than anywhere else you can think of.

This idea of nonverbal communication was put in place there at a very early date. Hand gestures or mudra’s of the gods were designed to help in communication with the devotee.

As time went by, these hand and body gestures alongside the eye movements became very essential in understanding what classical dance and drama entail.

Krishna places his left arm around Radha’s shoulders and reaches out ever so gently, for her breasts with his right hand.

Radha on the other hand, makes futile gestures, trying to restrain Krishna’s hand and pointing with her right hand, to the path which Nanda had instructed them to take. A reminder of the fact that they had deviated from Nanda’s orders.

However, there is little or no conviction in the way she tries to resist because she turns back and gazes affectionately into Krishna’s eyes as she stands like an elegant dancer, left leg lightly crossed against the right and toes touching the earth.

Conclusion:

These phenomenal works were published and illustrated here for the first time and a major characteristic that stands out is the brilliant colors and clear, powerful replications of scenes from Hindu epics.

They also offered a new way of reaching out for the divine through a form of personal devotion called Bhakti that had spread in India’s Hindu community while at the same time bringing life to the concept of gods, demons, mysterious symbols, lovers, and amazing creatures that are symbolic to literature and worship.

If you must appreciate Indian paintings and art, you must be able to relate to and fall in love with their elemental qualities such as their blazing color, dark lines, and the profound philosophy and mythology that is their good spring. [html_block id=”12849″]
