THE FOLLOWING ARE EXCERPTS FROM THE SL COUNTY’S JULY “ART TOO! ART NOT!” A MONTHLY PANEL DISCUSSION.<\/span><\/p>\n

DISCUSSING THE “IMPORTANCE OF PAINTING IN SOCIETY” WERE KAREN HORNE, JOHN ERICKSON AND LAYNE MEACHAM.<\/p>\n

LM:<\/b> Do we need art? Well, we don\u2019t have any choice. Artists are going to paint whether society wants it or not.<\/p>\n

JE:<\/b> I like keeping the censors there so there is some kind of an edge that you can push against; because, for example, in Salt Lake I can start to feel somewhat like an edgier person but if I go to New York I\u2019m a conservative.<\/p>\n

JE: Art is an engagement with that delectable thing that is unprecedentally you.<\/p>\n

KH: A painting is something that reveals itself over time and you almost have to educate yourself to see it.<\/p>\n

KH: The act of painting is a kind of meditation; it\u2019s a kind of refocusing . . that you confront a scene and you try to make sense of it; you try to refine perceptions so that you can actually see wihtout preconceptions.<\/p>\n

LM: What’s the artist’s role responsibility to society? Nothing really. But then hypocrisy slips in because we all like money. The only artist that would really say there is no obligation [to society] totally is the outsider artist; the one who has never sold a painting, is barefoot in London, wandering around like a derelict and doing art and nobody knows about him.<\/p>\n

JE: Or someone who\u2019s got a teaching job.<\/p>\n

JE: I like to be influenced, in the broad sense of being educated . . . it\u2019s that need to know, maybe to become an outsider through over education.\u00a0 . .It\u2019s a great energizer, the thickness of culture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
