ART TIMES

By Robert S. Hurwitz Interested in Art Discussion? One of the true joys of an appreciation or understanding of art lies in the discourse of its meaning, objectives, blends, faults and benefits — social talking by artists, teachers and people who care. Under no other name but people getting together over an espresso, cup of tea or low calorie brew, this writer is organizing a monthly get-together group of people and artists interested in good fun and art discussion. The requisite of attendance desire. The qualifications, that you are a good listener, good talker or if you're like me just interested in some new faces to stare at. In other words you're looking at the invitation to make the scene right now. My main concern now is getting your pledge of interest. If this sounds good to you please write me a card, give me a call or flash me a sign. Write your name, address and phone number and we'll let you know when and where. Art in Florida needs a voice. Artists need a sounding board and art lovers need to exchange ideas and views. I suspect that a lot of people would like to have a better understanding of art. Their voice should be heard and their questions answered by people not books. It's fine that so many people are taking art courses now, it's even better that they are constantly being encouraged in the field of self expression. The same here, for those who don't paint but like to view art and talk about it — here's my opinion of an outlet for expression. We'll just all sit together and talk — if too many talk at once this writer might say something literate like, "Now, dont' all talk at once." At the same time if the enversation gets dull, I might interject a daring subject like, "Do you think at age eight Picasso still has an active sex life?" Now you might imagine this public invitation will draw a large crowd — you're wrong. Cultural interest in art has not grown to that proportion yet. Fact is, we'll probably wind up with a couple of dozen of assorted humans. In addition to the voluntary, some special guests will be cajoled into participation. Serious moments will be plentiful, meeting new people will be encouraged, but most of all we're gonna' have fun — join us please and let me hear from you.
