Today I will write about simplicity regarding descriptions of the art of works.
The fact is that I often see, e.g., on the internet, the artworks’ descriptions that are not written in straightforward but vague, complicated language. When I am reading such obscure information, I wonder why the author wants to add as many confusing words as possible? Why don’t they try to add as much simplicity to it as possible? I don’t particularly appreciate reading such stories. Does this mean that I don’t understand them, that I’m not intelligent enough to comprehend them? No. I believe that real, tremendous art could be described in as straightforward language as possible.
I always aim to describe my artwork (e.g., Ostensible abstraction, Birds, Negation of the End, or Earth Wars) in such a way that as many people understand it as possible.
Whether they are, for example, a car mechanic or a CFO of an international corporation, I want to provide them understandable information. I strive for this in my descriptions. Simplicity is the keyword for me. If I don’t know how to describe something, I try to use as many simple words as possible. This post is not an exception. I believe that everything that I write here is understandable for an ordinary, English-speaking human. The fact ist that I do not want to use vague words. I want to be concrete, concise, and transparent with my message. I do not aim to provide complicated information.
Simplicity is the keyword regarding writing, not only descriptions of my artworks.
I want to give a clear message also here, on this web site. I believe that the more I will make simple my content, the more the audience will start to read my texts. When I see a vague, not straightforward message, I often feel that the author does not want me to understand what he/she wants me to tell. What about you, my Dear Friend? Do you aim to provide simplicity in your broadly defined artistic message?
