ORIGINS OF ART: A CYCLE OF SONNETS THAT EXPLORES SOME OF THE EARLY MODERNIST PAINTERS AND SCULPTORS AND THEIR EVOLUTION IN AN INTENSELY NEW WAY (PagePerfect NOOK Book)

This work, based on a collection of sonnets,
is a delivery system to bring to light the lives and the work of the incredible men and women who composed the period of art history known as the Impressionist. Of course
Impressionism fostered the post Impressionist,
Neo-Impressionist, the Pointillists, and all the other visual styles of art that followed. The art world is still in the midst of that great influence.

The personal lives of the early ‘Modernists’ were often filled with poverty, disappointment, and depression. Yet those with means would share studio space and materials. As thought a cry was heard that no serious painter shall be left behind. And the result is a body of work that is today priceless.

“The Modernist” is a work that explores the conscious and subconscious; the mental anguish and stresses of those suffering from bi-polar syndrome. Thus the creative arts are so often closely aligned with genetic points of emotional stress. Yet it goes far beyond this interlude to bring the reality of the highest level of artistic achievement. Their work today stands on its own merits. That is what this collection of sonnets so clearly delivers. The work of ‘the
Modernist’ should be available for all who desire true inspiration from not just art, but what great art is — a true reflection of life.
