Creating and Destroying
"Destruction is a form of creation."
- Donnie Darko
As an artist, I know this to be true. In artwork sometimes, destruction is creation. In the semi-recent news, a man punch a hole in a multi-million dollar Monet painting. At first, I was outraged. How could someone ruin the integrity of the piece? But after further thought, I realized, In destroying it, He created his own piece of art, at the cost of his freedom. How is that not art?
A woman created a piece in an esteemed New York art museum by making out with a wall. Her lipsticked stayed. Art was created.
With these, it leads me to believe, anything can be art. Creation. Destruction. Even just circumstances. Are we not creating art in the way we dress, act, think, feel? We live life creating and destroying, and, then, we, ourselves our destroyed. Nothing is more poetic and artistic than life itself.
