    Art of Lansdown Series

    By John A B Lansdown

    ()

    About this series

    All are affected by world-wide pecuniary meltdown. The uneven keel of fiscal redistribution are causing belts to be tightened...the economic crisis is reaching epidemic proportions...troubled millionaires are subsidised and bailed out by compassionate taxpayers to stop them taking that last leap as is traditionally expected. Artists suffer as much as Wall Street Magnates; contemporary artworks are a luxury that people can afford to do without. – only established art from deceased artists command respectable prices by substituting volatile money in a balanced investment portfolio.

    Wanting to ‘kick start’ the contemporary art market in response to the monetary calamity, Lansdown has took drastic action and resorted to publishing a Curriculum Vitae. The illustrations provide joyous relief to discerning curators who are no doubt anxious for a change from earnest art dabblers enthusing about their latest insipid depiction of their pet favourite poodle dog. Not to mention reprieve for the art collector who routinely deletes thirty emails from the local art society eager to show their kitsch renditions of sailboats and wilting chrysanthemums in a jug. Hopefully this book will reach the serious fine art dealer before they are on the verge of despair upon seeing yet another pot boiler rendition of cottages with roses and are idly turning their attention to making a slipknot.

    Please flick through this life times work for half a minute pretending to review it while I mulch off into the corner and prepare for a cruel assessment. If you have any compassion, buy it to use as a somnambulistic aide at bedtime. This book also makes a great door wedge since it is an ideal width for most doors.

      Ideally an artwork needs no explanation; the work resting on its own merits. Nonetheless, an account may reveal what the artist wanted to do, what social forces were at work, whether the artist wanted to change society’s perception of the world or if it was simply some hack work made on commission. When the public is confronted with unconventional new work using a Distilled Light mode, the artist should ‘stand in the dock’. Knowing the artist’s intentions lifts the veil of unfamiliarity so that a critic can assess the relevance of a work for themselves. Artists are scolded for failing to mimic patterns of nature when our real task is to make nature echo the aberrations in ourselves. There are rhythms in the heart and soul not always present in landscapes of this world.

    Author

    John A B Lansdown

    Formative years in the scenic Lakelands of North West England shaped John A B Lansdown into an outside landscape painter. Making violins at the prestigious Newark School in Nottinghamshire garnered a discipline that rubbed off onto his fine art. Watercolours, sketches and oil paintings interweave his poems and plays. Selling paintings internationally, he exhibits in Bulgaria, Austria, France and England. His prime displacement activity is playing a hand-made cigar box guitar accompanied by a voice allegedly resembling a tormented alley cat.
